Caprini's is a little place off the main road, easy to walk past and easy to settle into. There are dog pictures on the walls and music on in the background. People come in for one coffee and stay for a catch up.

Early on weekdays, later starts on Saturday

We open at 7:30am Monday to Friday and close at 4:30pm, so there is time for a coffee before work or a lunch stop in between. On Saturday we run from 9am to 4pm. We are closed on Sunday.

“The most adorable hidden gem ever. The chai latte is made with fresh chai powder that tastes so gingery and warming!”

“Lovely welcoming cafe. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Food was delicious and they even tweaked the menu for us (because we are fussy!).”
