I enjoyed a fantastic visit to the newly renovated Cafe Link, the menu was extensive, with something for everyone. I enjoyed a fresh sandwich and a really well made Latte. Service was excellent, everyone was super pleasant. Fantastic stop in for a coffee and a great addition to the local community! Keep up the good work :)
