'We don't do selfies with our customers, and we treat everyone the same — so we were delighted to see someone had taken their photo on Church Street, and our cup is in the frame.'
It's not the only star-studded visitor they have had in recent months. Scottish actor Alan Cumming also visited recently for a plant-based pain au chocolat.

It appears the pair are in the area filming of Christopher Nolan's latest project The Odyssey, which also stars Matt Damon. The filming is taking place shooting scenes around Moray.
Meanwhile, Christopher Nolan himself was spotted in Aberdeenshire as he popped in for dinner to a local pizzeria. He delighted staff on Saturday, July 12, at Pizzeria Planta.
Sharing the VIP guest on social media, the pizzeria said: "A Star-Studded Night at Pizzeria Planta! "We couldn't be more proud to share that this evening we had a very special guest at Pizzeria Planta. "After hosting many people from the Odyssey production team and various actors over the past few weeks, today we had the honour of welcoming none other than Mr. Christopher Nolan!"
And staff even gave us an insight into the Oppenheimer director's taste in pizza, confirming that he opted for a classic pepperoni Neapolitan style pie.
Scotland is no stranger to big-screen productions, with Glasgow due to stand in for New York City in Spider-Man 4, with filming set to commence this summer.
Glasgow was also used for London-based scenes in Fast and Furious 6, particularly around the Broomielaw, Wellington Street, and Cadogan Street.
In The Batman, the film's gothic architecture was a key factor in choosing Glasgow as a location, with the Necropolis and other areas featured.

Taylor Swift's new music video so secretive that 'even crew couldn't hear song'
Pop icon Taylor Swift could be ready to release new music but is said to have kept it so under wraps that even crew weren't able to listen to it while filming the video Taylor Swift is set to release new music for her adoring fans, but it's so under wraps the star is said to have filmed a music video in secret. The private filming was reportedly so secretive that even the crew weren't able to hear the full track. The music will mark the 35-year-old star's first new music since dropping The Tortured Poets Department over a year ago. And now it's said the project was completed on the West Coast. A source claimed: "Taylor was in Los Angeles on Thursday filming a new music video." They added the secrecy of the whole thing was evident. Speaking to the Sun, they added: "It was so top secret that those working on set were not even allowed to hear the song, only the beat. "Even though she's been taking time off from touring and working a lot to spend time with Travis, there are still projects she's working on, which will no doubt please fans." And the speculation went down well with fans online going wild. Flocking to social media to let their feelings be heard, one Twitter /X user excitedly questioned: "OMGGG WE ARE GETTING THAT ALBUM BY AUGUST???????" Another added: "Excited for this! The secrecy around the beat-only shoot in LA has me hyped-Taylor's genius at building anticipation never fails!" And a third simply said the "queen of pop is back". Earlier this month, Taylor sparked engagement rumours too after fans spotted her man's phone's lock screen. Travis Kelce's device left Swifties convinced that she's engaged to the NFL star. It comes after he shared huge selection of photos on his Instagram account. One in particular catching the eye of excited fans seemingly marked a massive milestone in their relationship so far. In the image, Taylor looks to be showing off her ring finger. It left fans speculating that the loved-up couple are engaged, though neither has made any official confirmation. The image showed the duo cosying up side by side, and the lock screen image shows Taylor Swift flaunting her ring finger. Taking to social media, one user commented on the post: "Travis's lockscreen - is she pointing at her hand like she is… engaged?" Another added: "Is it an engagement photo," while other excited fans exclaimed that they "zoomed in to the lock screen" to try and see for sure. People are waiting in anticipation for the pair to declare an engagement with one source telling the Mail Online earlier this year that "everyone is just waiting for Travis to ask her (Taylor Swift's) parents for her hand in marriage, her parents will say yes." They have been together since 2023. The couple have been reasonably happy to talk about their romance in the years that followed. Taylor has also declared her love to Travis while on stage and collecting awards.
