Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return most for the breakfast, with the mega breakfast and an English breakfast singled out as delicious and well cooked, alongside a salad that one diner calls delicious. Huge portions come up repeatedly, with one reviewer saying every plate looks like a main dish, and several describe the prices as reasonable or affordable. Close behind is the staff, described as friendly, kind, polite and funny, and one family visiting a relative at a nearby hospital say the welcoming atmosphere, music and kind waiters cheered them up on difficult days. Reviewers also mention food served quickly, toast done just right, and in-house sandwiches and desserts. The coffee draws mixed comments, from "not half bad" to a huge but bland cappuccino. One reviewer found the breakfast average and says they will not return, and the portions are so large that one diner wishes for smaller versions of the dishes. Outdoor seating where smoking is allowed gets a mention, and one visiting tourist says they felt at home.

“This cafe was amazing! The food -- my lifesaver! In this economy you expect to get a pea-sized meal with 15 quids, but from here, you'll get a plate full of delicious meal -- accompanied by friendly customer service. I hope this place stays at it is, although there could be smaller versions of the dishes, as the dishes are quite big.”

“I don’t want to give away my new favorite breakfast spot but I NEED THEM to have more customers… their brunch options are better than any other lunch location around. They can make any sandwich and have every dessert imaginable all made in house. The waitress was so kind and the food was amazing”

“The food was filling and staff were polite. The salad was delicious. Also outdoor smoking I’m pretty sure.”
