In terms of service and atmosphere, both I will endorse as excellent. It's like a small coffee shop vibe with servers who are attentive to customer needs. I am giving this place a 4 primarily because of the food. Some highlights of the food include: The presentation is very well done! Whether the eggs were fried or poached, there was some type of red vegetables placed on top of the eggs that made it look pretty, along with pomegranate seeds on top of the smashed avocado, and so on. The toast was tasty, along with the sausages, bacon, hashbrown, and tomatoes. The waffle in general was tasty, albeit not a difficult dish to make since it's vanilla yogurt and honey. In terms of where improvement can be used, the eggs, whether poached or fried, were overcooked and didn't really have runny yolk, which could be a one off this time, but the yolk color was darker than usual, which might suggest some level of overcooking as well. The mushroom had a weird taste that I couldn't comprehend. And finally, the added smoked salmon pieces felt like they could belong to the original dishes in the first place. They tasted good, but I have definitely purchased straight up smoked salmon pieces from Costco and they tasted just like the one served on my plate. Paying £4 more, I would expect something more than what I have described above. With all that said, would I recommend this spot? That is still a definite yes. The food was still great! Just didn't live up to the amount of hype I have heard about. It is close to the British Museum as well, so one can easily visit the museum right after such.

I got the salmon wrap a couple times and felt it was both filling and totally delicious. It was the best lunch option around our office (across from Lloyd's). The staff were soft spoken - they take a while but hey, what's the rush when you're getting a nice takeout meal? My understanding is - do NOT ever get the soup here. It apparently takes forever and it's a microwaved mess. Other than that, nothing bad to speak of.

I say quaint because of…read moreit's small size, it doesn't really possess a clear and obvious 'quaintness' once you get inside. A cute blackboard give you the special of the day so that you might know what you're going to get before you go in, which is actually quite handy considering if you do go in and you're split on your choice of sandwich, you normally get hassled, feel uncomfortable and rush your choice, making you unhappy later on! Or maybe I overthink it. Who knows. The bread definitely could be alot better though the chicken and sweetcorn filling is thick and chewy in all the right places. You can get cups of your favourite caffeine medium as well. A place that does average, well.

They have 2 menus either a la carte or choose something pre-prepared from the chiller cabinet, which is quite a new idea for them.

Then again, I wouldn't say the food is so outstanding. It's definitely a good standard but nothing we had really blew me away. We were sharing though, so I didn't get to order everything to my taste. We also slightly under ordered - we thought 2 mains and 2 vegetable sides would be enough for 3, but we could have done with another dish. Conclusion: I wouldn't travel far to this restaurant but if you're in Surbiton or nearby it's a great option.
