Customer Review Summary
Breakfast draws most reviewers, and Eggs Benedict is named by more than one, with another diner calling the Eggs Royale well-prepared and satisfying and a third pointing to the Dolce Breakfast. Close behind are the drinks and lighter orders: a chocolate brownie milkshake described as beautifully made, a Mango and Passionfruit iced fruit smoothie called super refreshing, good pancakes, coffee and iced tea. Staff are described as lovely, friendly and helpful, and the room as cosy, warm, quiet and calm, though one brunch visitor notes busy and noisy periods. The main caveat is the kitchen. One reviewer calls the wait for food long, while another was disappointed by overcooked, rubbery scrambled eggs, a potato waffle left uneaten and a smashed avocado that wasn't particularly nice, and found the drinks, including a cinnamon chai latte and a mocha, expensive. Several say they plan to return to try more of the menu, and one recalls a server handing over a takeout bag after noticing them carrying a few small boxes.
