“The focus is on the speed of smiles. Customers can check out and place their orders from the excellent quality Barista coffee and iced drink menu before they choose food options from the display, or head to the counter.

“The environment is updated with new wall finishes, furniture, lighting, cake displays and coffee counters to create a fresh, modern atmosphere.

“The number of seats remains the same.”

“We've got a lot of money to come and see,” said Kirstie Walsh, store manager.

“We listen to feedback, make major changes to improve speed and service, and continue to provide excellent quality and reliable value foods and drinks.”
