The Silo is an experience, it is an amazing building with an industrial heritage. Now it serves artisan coffee with cakes and chocolate. The experience is great if you are not in a hurry, they craft the coffee so it can take a while to be served but relax in the sunshine and enjoy the vibe.

Just popped in here on our way through and it’s now my new favourite place to come to! Really lovely atmosphere and the coffee is divine! A must place to come to for a coffee and reset in the sunshine. The little bakes are delicious too, such a bonus!

Great cafe, loved the architecture and feel of the place, have kept everything as it was so not over refurbished. Coffee was very good and although doesn’t do a full menu, had great choices of savoury & sweet cakes/snacks.. Staff were very helpful & friendly Would definitely go again if we were in the area..

The café pleasantly surprised me — great coffee, cozy atmosphere, and a friendly, professional team. Everything was spot on! But the real highlight was the restroom with a secret entrance and an open-air, ancient-times vibe — felt like I traveled back in time. Very funny and original! Thanks for such a unique experience!
