“It’s a small cafe with an extensive menu. I got the set breakfast to try. There wasn’t much flavor and there was pepper and something green in my ice coffee? I’m assuming it’s spinach but pretty off putting since I didn’t order anything with greens in it. There was only one worker taking orders, cooking and payment. I would probably try somewhere else.”

“Small cafe with tasty and good portion baps (sandwiches) and coffee. Takeout is popular but there are tables to sit and catchup. Nice service too. If I worked or lived nearby, this would be a regular breakfast place for me.”

“A wonderful place to get a morning or brunch bite to eat along with some of the best coffee I’ve ever had. The owner(s) and staff are delightful and helpful. Everything I’ve had on the menu is fantastic, but the coffee is phenomenal. The layer of crema is as close to perfect as one can get.”

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast baps lead the praise at this small Tottenham Street cafe, with reviewers singling out the massive sausage baps, the bacon and egg brekkie sambo, and a Bay Leaf Breakfast Bap that one diner marvels at for how much fits inside. Close behind is the coffee, called smooth, rich and brilliant, with one reviewer praising the layer of crema. Others point to the full English, the hot and fresh panini, a chicken and mushroom ciabatta, and homemade pastas. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and quick, and several call the portions and value good, though one reviewer finds prices a little on the high side. The one clear complaint comes from a diner who found the set breakfast short on flavour, with pepper and something green in an iced coffee they had not ordered, and noted a single worker handling orders, cooking and payment. Another reviewer jokes that clothes leave smelling of cooked food.
