Lovely little cafe for all day breakfast, lunch or pastries. The 2 gentlemen in there are so lovely and friendly and the food is delicious. I usually go in for their coffee or paninis / sandwiches / wraps and theyβre very filling and decently priced. All the food is halal too which is a great bonus! Thereβs some seating inside or a little sheltered conservatory area right at the back.

Happened to stop by as I was hungry. Menu wasnβt particularly interesting but I ordered the Mediterranean ciabatta and a flat white. Food was very bland, bread was soggy. Coffee was drinkable but nothing special. Staff werenβt exactly rude but not particularly friendly either. When I went to pay the price was higher than expected as apparently the prices on the wall are for takeaway (Which is not clear). Would not recommend :)

Where do I start. I came in and asked for a light breakfast. And the man aggressively tells me the menu is on the table when Iβve already said what I want. Then I sit down in the outdoor bit of the cafe and itβs dirty. Dirty tables, dirty floors dirty everything. The food then comes with cutlery and on the fork you can see bits of food that has stuck on the fork due to not being washed properly which straight away gave me the ick. Then I see the food and it looks so basic like someone you will cook at home and put the egg in the microwave. I used every last bone in my body to try a bit of the food and to my surprise it tasted disgusting. I didnβt finish it and I went to the man and just paid for the water. Worst place Iβve ever been too never go here!!!

Absolutely polite. And warm.. Just what you need on a cold day. Coffee was great as usual. Definitely recommend a visit

Love this place. They are so nice. The pantries are second to none. Not so good for the hot food. I had Eggs Benedict today. Unfortunatley things were not Hot or really even warm. The muffin was toasted but had cooled by the time things were put together. The egg was done great and was hot. However the hollandaise sauce was from a carton and was cool not heated. The two hash brown patties were still cold. I really wanted to like the food and had it been even warm I probably would have. Go for the pastries and the coffee and maybe skip the "hot" food.

Decent full breakfast (used the 50% off eat out scheme). Took less than 10 minutes for my order. Egg cooked nicely and recent coffee. Friendly staff. Overall, would recommend.

Thought I'd try this place with some work colleagues. The overall experience was not very pleasant. The lady at the counter was far from friendly. We ordered a panini each and agreed that they were each very mediocre. The menu stated that it came with a salad but none of us got any and when we did ask about it was told that it's only for customers that eat in. Although, whilst on our way out we were offered some salad by the chef. Probably wouldn't go again as there are alot better options around that area.
