A busy family style eatery. Not to be compared with artisan cafes or restaurants, but the wide range of homely and tasty food and drink options are good enough when I want something different outside my own kitchen. The counter is a bit slow— making coffee and then taking order, so the short queue takes time. (Food is fast in comparison.) Brighter point, some people have finished lunch in the meantime and freed up some seats. Maybe delegating tasks would help. The Chicken Chorizo Arancini is pretty nice. The filling is full of flavor, and the gooey cheese in the center is always lovely. On the other hand, the shell is no longer crispy and turns a bit soggy. ✏️ A suggestion: rehearing with oven works better than with microwave. (I am also considering taking it as to-go next time to do it my way to revive its texture) The matcha latte is hearty, unsweetened and comes with a big mug of milk — but it’s really hot— I scorched my tongue badly when I took a slurp, despite waiting for a few minutes until the food arrives. Be careful. The Guiness cake makes me cry in joy🥹 So dark, so rich, so moist. Tastes like condensed Oreo! I’m taking it home to enjoy it without the pressure from other customers. The paninis, savories, and cakes all look so enticing. Will definitely come back to try them all (on less busy days for me and for the restaurant). The owner might appear a little stern, reminds me of the way many Asian dads focus on their busy work. It’s stress and concentration, not altitude I guess. The space is tiny. Despite the beautiful deco and relaxing, there is a rushed feeling to eat fast and leave— would recommend takeaway instead. There is some student discount available. 202405 Guinness cake to go for my friend’s birthday. The pies and scotch egg look amazing!! And it’s not that crowded before noons Hope I’ll pass by again soon for lunch. 202507 just adding a pic of a beautiful straw
