Pre-booked the evening set menu. Everything was delicious. Will definitely return.
Super cosy! Amazing service, very attentive! We came for an evening meal which was a blend of Vietnamese and Chinese food. It was absolutely delicious! Can’t wait to come back again! Just take note it’s best to book if you are going for dinner.
A cozy safe haven for coffee lovers and people who love to support small businesses. Coffee is always on point, with one of the foamiest cappuccinos I've ever had, and breakfast is lush. If you're absolutely starving and need something asap, I'd recommend getting one of their muffins or pastries while you wait. I wouldn't say it's a long wait but good things take time. If you order a full English, expect to wait 10 minutes or so but it will be worth it!!! Trust me - no tinned tomatoes here! Just don't fill up because the full English is huge! For a healthy appetite 😂 (I've come back time and time again for the full English, though I should really give the rest of the menu a try.) Gentleman behind the desk is always kind and ready to crack a joke, very friendly. All are welcome 💕 There's posters by the entrance for a diverse selection of events as well, and the music is always easygoing and timeless. They often have coffee+pastry/cake deals so keep an eye out for that too!
The food was fresh and lovely, and the owner was very kind! I had the chorizo, tomato and Brie toastie it was divine and we also got an all day bfast which was also an amazing portion for the price and was lovely. Will visit again if ever in town again and I would definitely recommend this place, the vibes were great 😊.
Amazing food and great service
