A really tasty breakfast with a good selection of options on the menu. Great friendly staff who were very attentive but not on top of you. Nice decor and atmosphere. Great value

Workers were really nice and the food was served quickly and still warm. Pancakes were so fluffy, possibly the best I’ve had. Interior had a classic 2010’s style. Definitely coming again.

A friend recommended Mess Cafe to me, and I can say with certainty that our friendship has been elevated as a result. There is not a single aspect of this establishment I could criticise. The interior is intimate and elegantly cosy, the staff are unfailingly attentive and gracious, and the food is of such quality that it feels almost transportive. The menu is so enticing that we spent a considerable amount of time simply debating our choices, as every dish appeared worthy of selection. With only around twenty five tables in total, advance booking is highly advisable. I fully intend to return and explore more of what this exceptional kitchen has to offer.
