   When I came in I thought the cafe was lovely, a young Asian lady took my order. I later learned she was also the chef, which was strange for her to also be working the till/front of house with 2 colleagues chatting away behind her. I sat down and waited for my order to come - only to find it severely burnt. I made sure to attempt to eat it to ensure that it didn’t just look burnt. Unfortunately, the burnt reality of the waffle made its consistency biscuit-like and its taste slightly bitter masked by the healthy dollop of biscoff and two mounds consisting of whipped cream and vanilla ice cream. Fortunately, when brought up the chef/front of house happily replaced my order with a much more palatable and not at all burnt fresh waffle complete with the same toppings as before. This greatly rescued my breakfast dining experience for me. When I asked a different staff member for a glass of water for my companion. She agreed then I watched her walk outside the shop, check her phone and chat to someone outside the shop. We left without the tap water we asked for as we had waited long enough. I wouldn’t want to work here if the brunt of the work was being placed on one staff member resulting in sub par service and food (at-least initially).

   Love this little independent cafe. Interesting selection of coffees. I had the beetroot Mocha I believe it was…so nice. Really good selection on menu including for vegan and vegetarian. My new little fave to eat when I’m there.

   I hang out with some friends there. It was a cute little place, relaxing, quiet, with a few customers working on their laptops. We only tried sweet dishes and drinks. No issue with any of them. All were good. In summary, it’s another nice coffee shop in the area

   Visited just before Christmas and have remembered the cafe being open for years (or as long as I can remember) and service has always been excellent. The staff on shift were so lovely and helpful, brought our food and drinks over to the table in good time and atmosphere is lovely, everyone tends to keep to themselves but makes it nice for being able to have a catchup without everyone hearing your conversations. Gets full really quickly and it's no surprise - priced very reasonably and food is of good quality. No time limit on how long you can stay for either.

   What a fantastic gem of a cafe! Defo worth a visit if in Leicester. A huge and very tasty menu, especially if it’s around Christmas for the festive additions! The Black Forest hot chocolate is to die for!!!

   I planned my visit to Leicester including coming here for lunch so I had in my mind what to order and what to expect. However, nothing went as planned. The lack of service threw me a bit. There was no waiting staff to direct you a table. Yes, it's a very small place that you could easily work out which table was occupied or not but for solo travellers like myself, I'd rather not risk leaving my possession on a table or chair then go and order at the counter. Like I said, there is no waiting staff so you must order at the counter. Not only that, there was nobody who would ask you how the food or drink was as well as clearing up the tables. I originally wanted (was literally eyeing on) the platter for one Goubes but it was unavailable. I ended up ordering Greek breakfast at £5.60 and a hot chocolate at £3. The price is reasonable considering it's situated in the city centre. I quite enjoyed their hot chocolate - silky and not too sweet. On the contrary, the Greek breakfast was just ok but there was definitely no wow factor to it.

   Had the English and Greek breakfast. Good overall but would have been happier with a slightly bigger portion! They added an avocado for me which I really appreciated.
