Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the friendly staff and owners, describing a welcoming team that gets to know its regulars, from tradespeople working in Croydon to a local record label owner who brings artists there for meetings. Food comes close behind. Diners name a bacon sandwich and coffee cooked just as they like it, a set breakfast that did not disappoint, and grilled chicken and chips described as delicious. One says the portions are so large the plate never gets cleared, and another calls the value fantastic. Service is described as fast and polite. The only reservations come from two reviewers who call it a standard cafe with standard cafe food, one of them a greasy spoon with a long menu, though one still finds it very tasty and the other calls the owners nice. One visitor attending the nearby hospital says they will eat there every time they have to go back.
