It was tasty but the threw all of the items on the two pieces of toast piled on top of one another - like they were in too big a rush to notice or care and I had to reconstruct it myself. Would have liked a bit more of the eggplant spread given that it was featured in the menu listing up front and not barely enough to call it a condiment. Coffee looked pretty but was just okay. Nice place overall.

I think the flavors complimented everything really well. The service was quick and friendly as well. The ambience of the cafe really set the tone of the space.

This place was awesome, but a part of it probably has to do with it being the first place that I…read moreencountered that was offering some breakfast. Well, that certainly made this place pretty good, and the options were quite delicious. In fact, this is one of the last places that I visited before we returned to an extended lockdown. Anyway, I ended up having the chilli scrambled eggs, which I have to admit was really yummy. They also made a pretty awesome pot of tea. Oh, and the service was great as well. I've definitely got to come back here.

There's a really lovely cafe space behind the subtle facade if you take the time. The coffee here is really lovely. Deeply flavoured, substantive and offering length. Most impressive. I would have loved to have tried one of the famed almond croissants. Service was warm and friendly. A dark horse establishment which I've marked down to revisit.

Actually, it went beyond awesome, if that is at all possible. Like, their eggs benedict was nothing short of perfection, and in fact they made it in a way that suggested that they were more than willing to add their own special touch to it. Yeah, I have to say that I absolutely loved this place, and I probably should mentioned that they made an awesome pot of tea as well.

The food is great, but you cannot go without trying one of two dishes: The breakfast burrito and the pumpkin pancakes. I usually lean towards savoury when it comes to brekkie, but hot damn they got good cakes! If you want something smaller, they have out if this world muffins if you're a muffin fan! Great place to check out if you're in the area. Fail safe, never disappoints.
