What people say, in short
Many commenters recommend Mr Eion, a coffee roaster that people mostly place in Trinity, and several praise its coffee and beans.

One diner says its salted milk chocolate cookie is a pleasant surprise, though it is not always on offer. The main caveat is the limited opening days, which one commenter wishes were more generous.
