Customer Review Summary
Breakfast is the draw at this Erith cafe, with diners praising a lovely cooked breakfast, singling out the full English and the American breakfast, and one calling it the best breakfast ever. Mushrooms on toast at a weekend brunch is also called delicious, and reviewers describe the food overall as lovely and fresh. Close behind is the staff, described as friendly, polite and quick, with one reviewer noting they never felt rushed. The back garden room and the plentiful seating at the rear also draw mentions, along with a clean space and lovely coffee. Several describe it as something locals needed, and one can't wait for the evening menu. The one critical note comes from a lunch visit, where a ham salad baguette and a tuna mayo baguette were both very dry and the chips were only ok. That reviewer, who had enjoyed breakfast the week before, still says they will go back.
