"Horrible horrible service."
"The service is super slow! It took around 45 mins to just bring an waffle."
"45 minute wait to eventually be given a fried egg sandwich."
"The food was also grimacingly slow - we'd finished our coffees and the mugs were cold by the time our food came - with no offer or ask from the waitress if we'd want further drinks."
"The biggest problem for us however was the fact that the food took literally 45minutes to come."
"However, our experience was ruined by a young inexperienced waitress who casually made fun of my anaphylactic nut allergy."
Food Quality
Pros:
"They make thee best food, so fresh, tasty, and the coffee...my word, it's not top notch."

"Unbelievable hash browns, and perfect eggs and avo on toast."
Cons:
"Coffee was ok."
"Had the baked oats, was a bit disappointed as it was too sweet for me and a bit too liquidy."
"Order the pulled pork eggs benedict and it was cold and honestly had a kind of dog food taste to the meat."
"Asked for a fried egg sandwich... Coffee was poor."
"The food was just bad. I could not detect a grain of seasoning anywhere, by eye or taste."
"It's funny how such a small place can get 6 very easy things wrong in the space of 10 minutes. Nobody greatest us, nobody seated us, we weren't given menus or offered drinks and after we finally organised everything for ourselves, nobody bothered to inform us that they weren't actually serving food until we got up and walked away."
"A total waste of money for food thats not even mediocre. The best thing was the tap water which wasnt even cold, theres also way too long of a wait for my sandwich which had only one thing on it. The food was dry and bland and I would not recommend this restaurant to anybody."
Ambiance and Decor
Pros:
"Great service, super decor and love the old milk bottle usage for table water…"
"Idyllic outside seating despite the passing traffic. Perfect for people watching."
"The vibe and interior is so chill."
"Such a lovely atmosphere for a lunch with the family."
"The atmosphere was great."
"Atmosphere is spot on, food amazing and kids love it."
"Interior design is modern, yet cosy, and outdoor seating is also available where you can sit and watch the world go by!"
Cons:
"First thing is this cafe is really cramped. The main floor where everything happens is probably the same size of a small shop but converted to squeeze in that little bit more space."
"The only downside was a gale blowing through the slate walls."
"As our local cafe, we used to come here very often with the dog but a few months ago a lady was very rude to us about dogs being outside only."
"I personally found the music too loud: couldn't have a conversation with my friends."
"I'm just not sure about this place... But it just comes across as a coffee and breakfast shop that is more concerned with its own image, and how many photos are being shared to Instagram, than perhaps more important elements."
"It does get really crowded and noisy in a Sunday afternoon though, depends on whether u like that kind of atmosphere."
"The queue management is also quite messy, there were tables empty but they still didn’t give us table and required multiple reminders in order to do that."

"Although things are a few pennies more than elsewhere there's a marked improvement in quality and consistency."

"No food available after 3pm."
"The only downside is it’s a tad expensive."
"Prices are moderate although the coffee is slightly expensive."
"The vegan flatbread was worth the high price."
"Can get busy during lunch time as not a particularly large place."
"The carrot cake could be better but that’s a personal preference."
