Customer Review Summary
Breakfast is the draw at this small café, with reviewers praising fresh, delicious plates that are nicely presented. The Crispy Bacon and Avocado with poached eggs gets particular mention. Close behind are the egg, mushrooms and salmon on sourdough and an oatmeal garnished with a pansy and fruits. A cappuccino and the fresh juice also earn praise. Staff come across as friendly, polite and cheerful, and one reviewer notes the food arrived fast. The main caveat is space. One reviewer calls the café very, very cozy and says a table near the counter and till leaves one feeling in the way, adding that luggage, a stroller or a large party might not fit. Another describes the atmosphere as a bit tense. One diner found the English breakfast different from others, with very salty bacon and no mushrooms, grilled tomato or hash browns. One reviewer liked the breakfast and coffee so much that they came back twice for the exact same order.

“Absolutely outstanding breakfast this morning! Every single ingredient tasted incredibly fresh, and the quality of the food was exceptional. You can really tell that great care goes into every dish. The presentation was simply stunning, each plate looked like something you’d expect to be served in a Michelin ⭐️ Restaurant 😋 Combined with the warm, welcoming atmosphere and excellent service, it made for a truly memorable dining experience. I can’t recommend this place highly enough and will definitely be coming back!”

“The food here was delicious and gorgeously presented. My oatmeal was garnished with a pansy and fruits. My husband’s egg, mushrooms, salmon on sourdough was scrumptious and picture perfect. The only slightly negative thing Americans might want to note is the cafe is very, very cozy, and if your table is near the counter and till one does feel a bit in the way. If I had luggage, a stroller or a large party this might not be suitable. When I return I will pick a table a bit away from the ordering counter. Still, quite a happy start to the day.”
