Food selection was perfect, with plenty of sandwiches, panini's, breakfast bagels, quiches and the like, along with a nicely curated blackboard menu. We had the homemade pie, a beef and egg salad bun, along with a heated breakfast bagel. Only observation, the espresso was over-extracted a tad leaving it a little bitter and watery.

We had a medium size group of people and the food was a little slow in arriving at our table, but that was understandable because they were busy. For some weird reason they had live musicians playing outside by the Clock Museum and it was so loud we couldn't hear each other talking inside the restaurant. The clincher, however, was the flies. I know Summer has just finished and I know flies are attracted to such places, but we had a least a dozen flies hovering all around our table, and we weren't the only ones. Most of our time was spent shooing them away instead of enjoying the company and the food. A small automatic sprayer on the wall achieves nothing - do yourself a favour and call Northpest.
