Had a meet up with a sibling. Lovely, friendly, efficient service. Coffee is good and my brown egg roll came with lettuce and crips. Very tasty and all brought to the table.

Lovely little cafe. Great food, very friendly staff and a nice cosy atmosphere. Very peaceful when there wasn't a show on in the theatre. I dearsay it might be a bit more bustling if there was a performance happening.
