Customer Review Summary
Breakfast dominates the praise here, led by the Turkish breakfast, which one reviewer found so large that half went home for dinner. Close behind are the French toast, served with fruit, English cream and maple syrup, and the avocado breakfast on sourdough with poached eggs. Others mention egg royal with runny egg and smoked salmon, avocado and salmon toast, and the passion storm smoothie. Reviewers repeatedly describe generous portions, fresh and well made food, and plates with care in the presentation. Several call the staff kind, welcoming and friendly, and a few point out the dishes are fully halal. The space is described as clean, relaxed and spacious, with an outdoor sitting area, a table tennis table for children, and room for a large group to sit together. The recurring caveats are small: one reviewer found service a little slow, though still felt the food was worth the wait, and another calls the place a little pricey. One diner with a gluten allergy found the kitchen accommodating.

“I’m very happy with my visit to this café. Everything was delicious, the atmosphere was lovely, and the staff were welcoming and kind. Thank you for a wonderful experience!”

“Space is very spacious, relaxing, not congested and most importantly very clean. There was very nice out side sitting area with very comfortable furnitures. It is not just a quick eating space, but a welcoming and relaxing space to spend good time with family and friends. For our children there was a table tennis outside, they really enjoyed, and when we were there even there was a live music on the street immediately outside the cafe. We were there with my family of 5 members and 2 more friends, all of us get a chance to sit all together very comfortably, with a chance of dining and chatting altogether rather than some of us need to have to sit separately, that was very important to spend time all together to get most pleasure and enjoy the time. Regarding to the food, staff and service; all were perfect, the team was amazing, very kind with always smiling face. I had egg royal, and it was very delicious, egg was runny as exactly I want, smoked salmon and bread was so tasty, and was a quite big portion. In short we really liked a lot and definitely will be back”

“I went with my partner and we were both absolutely amazed by the incredible food both in taste and presentation. I had the turkish breakfast and there was so much food I took some home and had the rest for dinner! I came back with my friend a few days later and had the avocado and salmon toast which was also delicious! They were also very accommodating to her gluten allergy. Service was a little slow, but the staff were welcoming and the food is well worth the wait! Also the smoothies are incredible, I highly recommend the passion storm!”
