Just walked in off the street for breakfast. You can tell this is a local favourite judging by the staff and the customers. Staff were friendly and my coffee and breakfast was with me in perfect timing. Busy little spot just on the corner of the street, you can also get some takeaway drinks and treats. Food was really tasty and I enjoyed the atmosphere.

Great little cafe. Fantastic food (we had the chicken cous cous salad and vegan berry salad... both delicious). Coffee was excellent and cakes looked amazing (might need to come back to try some)

One of the best cafe and breakfast places I've been to! We were there for breakfast - the pancakes with bacon and the others with berries and whipped cream were great. Flavor and looks on top! The coffee was good and the orange juice was freshly pressed. The waiter was (for the time we were there) alone and managed everything perfectly! Remarkable performance right there. All around I can highly recommend the place.
