Such a lovely little gem of a shop! They stock everything from beautifully curated greeting cards and homeware to thoughtful gifts – perfect for treating yourself or picking up something special for someone else. I especially love the vintage section downstairs, which adds a unique charm and makes browsing even more fun. The whole place has a warm, welcoming vibe, and I always leave feeling inspired. Highly recommend a visit!

Cozy little shop with the best hot chocolate i've had in years! Cakes are great as well! The coffee beans are amazing in flavour and grinded upon wish. Staff and Owner are very sweet and open. As I just moved to town, they were giving me insight of the vibe of the part of town and recommendations of things to do.

Nice wee place to go if you just want a nice coffee or to browse their range of trinkets and vintage items (vintage and clothes are downstairs, coffee on the first floor). They have a few outdoor seats, and you can also sit inside. Cappuccino was nice and they had a couple brownies and cookies for sale too if you fancy something sweet. Plant based milks available :) they also sell a good selection of coffee beans and can grind it for you for your cafetiere!

BAM is a hidden gem that deserves not to be so hidden. Coffee and pastries are amazing, often have seasonal variations which are different to other places in their offering and fab for vegan choices. Hot chocolate is excellent, really creamy and flavourful. Jen the owner puts so much care and thought into everything she offers. The vintage is carefully curated and presents I have bought from the shop have always been so well received. I have recommended this place to so many people in person I thought it was time to do an actual review. Such a happy, quirky vibe and the hot drinks Jen serves radiate the sunshine in a cup feel! Perfectly located too a few doors from Merry Go Round for parents wanting to go for a walk in the park before or after popping in. Keep on doing what you do, BAM
