We popped in for a late brunch on a Saturday (just before 12), it was busy but there was no queue and space for 4. The food for all of us was great, I had a croque madame and it was tangy and cheesy and delicious, perfect. My mates all had different food and were similarly pleased. Coffees and drinks were nice, took a while to arrive I admit (but it was a pretty busy Saturday). The staff were friendly and helpful. We sat outside with some good tunes lightly in the background. A good option here, and very reasonably priced.
