Very cool, low key but not too low place. I was welcomed with a smile, service was good. Collected few items. Sandwich was yummy, although didn’t taste meat that much. Cookie was average but cake was superb. Cheers!

I ordered the Eggs Benedict and an oat cappuccino 🤩🤩 and it was absolutely incredible. Was something different and very filling but didn’t sit heavy - loved the zucchini fritters and wished everywhere did this ! Staff were so lovely. Cannot wait to go again!!
