  “I come to Local Hero every few months for breakfast and it is always delicious, I order the same thing and it's consistent. Poached eggs on toast and French toast is always tasty, and the coffee is great. My only feedback/critique is I think the poached eggs on toast should come with 2 pieces of sourdough. not 1. The piece of bread is tiny and very thin (though tasty) and I always have to order an extra slice. 2 eggs require 2 slices of bread! Please consider changing this. It's so tasty but comes out looking a bit sad as it's so small - just something to consider. Service is always friendly, and quick. Good spot for brekky.”

  “I visited yesterday for the first time and it was ok. I had a ham and cheese croissant which was over toasted and I really didn’t enjoy it. My friend had a cappuccino and with split bill we paid £4.75 each. There is only one (!) toilet which was fairly clean. There was a dog inside so they are obviously allowed and I can only hope the tables are properly disinfected, not just wiped. The staff were friendly and I liked that we were able to order at the table and pay there, without having to queue.”

  “Ordered a double espresso and came this (pictured). Asked the first staff she said it’s double espresso. Asked the second staff she said it’s a ristretto. I feel like they are reassuring customers preference by their instincts without acknowledging - I would have ordered ristretto if I love the taste of it, and I would have expected to get a double espresso as this is what I ordered. The second staff finally offered me to prepare a double espresso as I insisted this is not my drink. Very burnt and it’s over palm temperature, which is a common easy check for espresso temperature. Also a barista, I appreciate the fancy set up with loads of posh bean grinders which made the shop looking professional. However I believe they might be stronger at the food section I supposed, taking considerations on the quality of coffee. The vibe is lovely though.”

  “The custard tart was amazing, brought back many fond nostalgic memories. Perfectly baked. The cinnamon bun is beautiful. Light, airy but delicious at the same time. Latte and hot chocolate was bloody scrumptious. The service was friendly and talkative, and we felt very comfortable and welcomed in. Couldn’t recommend more.”

  “A high-demand, small coffee place in the heart of the centre, which serves really good coffee. The lime coconut and carrot cake was delish - light, not-too-sweet & delightful. The Tzatziki Poached Eggs were perfect. Just if I have to pick up on something the Focaccia bread was a tad-more toasted, so I had to bite into it when it wasn’t hot anymore. The price is a bit on the higher side but good food is worth it.”

  “The food was so much better than we expected! Incredibly tasty, well made, and a generous portion. Lemonade was the nicest one I'd ever had. Would recommend. 🍋 I have had their coffee to take away before, which was also solid. I'll have to try it again soon. A good size inside — fits quite a lot of people without becoming stifling. There's a bathroom at the back too. Only downside were the two older men that sat beside us complaining about service despite having got exactly what they'd asked for in a timely manner? Odd.”
