Popped in here for breakfast with the dogs, great coffee and a really good sourdough with avocado and halloumi. The dogs appreciated the pup cakes! The service was really friendly.

Honestly, unreal wee gem hidden in the southside 💖 We’re local and always looking for somewhere to go that’s dog friendly, nice atmosphere and has a nice simple breakfast and lunch menu without feeling like you need to order a full 3 course meal at lunch time. We drove past this place today and seen 3 border collies sitting outside and promptly parked the car and walked round for a nosey with our own collie. First off, anywhere that has ‘soup and a sandwich’ on their menu instantly gets my money 😂 I’m a simple gal and absolutely buzz over a soup and a sandwich deal at lunchtime and seriously, at £7.95, it’s unbelievable value for money! The staff are so so friendly, chatty, helpful and go over and above for you. I had their lemon pepper chicken wrap (seriously delicious and fresh ingredients but unreal taste!) and their homemade lentil soup 🤌🏻 partner asked for their meatball sub but in a wrap and I’ve never seen a more magical creation 😂 won’t lie, was kinda jealous. The owner then told us their meatball recipe is over 100 years old from his great great granny in Naples 🥲 so don’t sleep on the meatballs, you need to try them. I had the perfect view of being able to watch the owner put together some sandwich orders and the amount of different, fresh and inventive ingredients they offer is so impressive, their cheese selection alone is worth going in every day! Serious 10/10 for this place, can’t wait to go back and make our way through the rest of their menu, it’s honestly beyond reasonably priced especially for the southside, and the portions are BIG! Thanks so much for an amazing lunch 🫶🏼
