"I ordered a flat white like I always do as I prefer a stronger coffee. It was nice no burnt taste at all. The barista that served me was very polite. She brought my coffee to my table and apologised for a little spillage that had been caught by saucer. Never a problem when it's simply because the cup was so full so I didn't mind. No half measures here. I found The Coffee Crate by chance. I passed a sign on the road and had to find this oddly placed cafe with an interesting name. I was expecting a small coffee vendor within a small converted shipping container. With this in mind I was pleasantly surprised to find multiple containers. One converted to seat at least 12 guests and another that The Coffee Crate barista prepares food and coffee. The seating area is converted to a high standard with plush pillows that cover the nice looking albeit a bit firm seats. There is a bench on one side as shown in my photo and I'm sure you could easily bring 5-6 friends here and have plenty of room left."

I’ve been to the Coffee Crate many times now and everytime the staff have been so friendly and helpful. It’s a great little hidden gem and I couldn’t fault it!!

Fantastic place, popped in on the way to school, food was cooked fresh and was amazing. The chef asked how we liked things cooked eg bacon. Couldn't have asked for better.
Millie
Came here for a little bit of lunch before a shift at work, and I couldn’t recommend more. Such friendly staff, food was lovely (also accommodates for GF and dietary requirements) and super affordable. Milkshakes were amazing too! Can’t wait to come back.
