    Didn’t expect there to be a tv on in a cafe. Got told we had 20 minutes to leave before our food had even arrived. Food was really expensive for what it was. Place looked a bit run down, pull down blinds were really dirty and didn’t work so we had to sit staring into the blazing sun.

    Service was incredible, especially considering how busy it was. Food and coffee was also delicious.

    It was a busy Father's day morning , but service was still great and quick. All of our breakfast meals were delicious and was good value for money. We are not local but we will be back

    Dissapointed with the service and the food. Food took 1 hour and 40 mins ( we were advised could be up to one hour) and customers who arrived after us were served they ate came and left and we still had not received our meals . When i asked i kept getting "5 mins " or its just coming out but it wouldn't and I had to keep asking. Food was ok but too much of an overkill with the pesto on the tomatoes and over most of the meal i had the smashed avo. Coffee was good. Will not be coming back here .

    Had made a booking for 5 people in the morning, received confirmation email. Arrived at cafe and told that they don't look at same-day bookings. Host was rude and unwelcoming, told to call instead of using OpenTable. NO WHERE does it say that this is required, don't have it as an option to your guests if you aren't going to use it correctly. Luckily able to find a much more welcoming cafe nearby who were happy to have our service.

    The place didn’t feel organised - they got our order wrong, one meal didn’t arrive, the poached eggs were hard and the service was slow. Sadly disappointing.
