WOW!! What a lovely cafe! We called in for a late lunch. There were 4 of us and we had to wait about 5 mins to be seated. The menu was so tempting- it took is ages to decide what to go for! My Mexican eggs were deliciously spicy- just the right amount of heat. The pancake stack was absolutely mouthwatering and delicious. The Croque Madame was so impressive and the bacon roll was equally great. Super friendly staff, great atmosphere and efficient service! Will definitely return!
Hands down the best brunch I had so far and it was worth the 40 mins wait. Do go early or after lunchtime on a weekend. The banana pancakes were scrumptious, absolutely loved their caramel sauce and crunchy halving bits. Pancake itself was fluffy and you could taste a hint of buttermilk. Croque Madame wasn’t too heavy/ greasy as the sharpness of mustard balanced it out and the dressing for lettuce was refreshing . High quality bacon was used. Hash browns were equally delicious!
Robinsons was recommended to me by a friend and they were so very right to suggest it. I had the full stack bacon pancakes which were huge and delicious. Coffee was lovely and the hash browns were really unique and crispy. Despite it's popularity (we had to queue around 10 mins outside on a Sunday) they haven't overcrowded it inside and everything is nicely spaced out.
Drove from Leeds today after wanting to try here for so long! We tried their pancake stacks which I must admit the actual pancakes were probably the best I’ve had! They were so thick and fluffy… The toppings weren’t that great, just your average berry compote and bacon with maple syrup. The hash brown bites were amazing!! I was a little disappointed with the amount of syrup in my coffee, especially when you’re paying extra for the syrup. Mine was not sweet at all, not sure if they had forgotten the syrup? I would return here to try a savoury breakfast. Staff were lovely and the service was so quick!
So good it’s the best breakfast out ever! You can get tones of items and you can ask for Extra sauce and boom they bring it to you. They make fresh food and their orange juice is delicious and it is freshly squeezed. It’s a 1000000000000000/10 and don’t forget their halloumi fries are top notch.
