I have been getting my coffee at No 8 for just over a year! The reason is the service, I have become good friends with Ellie the barista! She loves a good chat and get to know her customers well. The coffee is insane and so is the price!

Soon becoming another favorite of ours, No8 Coffee is an extended part (window) of a salon, this cafe, and serves coffee that has strong notes of creamy caramel.

No. 8 is a bloody delight. Elleise lets you yap her ear off and you forget you even were there to get a coffee. Best hole in the wall, you won't regret going 10/10

Great hole-in-the-wall cafe with good quality well made coffee. Slightly cheaper than other cafes in the area which adds up overtime if you're an everyday coffee drinker. Ellie and the team are all superstars who spoil all the doggies with treaties and pats everyday! Highly recommend for a takeaway coffee.
