Ambiance and Location

Pros:

• "It does get pretty busy on the weekdays so I would recommend booking ahead of time."

• "Beautiful view and such good coffee."

Cons:

• "Just sometimes could be a bit loud being next to the big road."
• "The other side is a building site and a busy road but you are in The City so that’s to be expected."
• "Also the toilets are almost pitch black."
• "No lights for the bathroom either."
• "The downstairs toilet was very dingy too."
• "The inside wasn't anywhere near as nice and the downstairs toilet was very dingy too."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Lovely atmosphere, excellent service, great prices."
• "All in all, the delicious food, super friendly staff, and reasonable prices."
• "The pizzas and the chicken Parma are both brilliant, the portions are very generous so everything feels like great value for money."
• "Pleasant, great location, nice service. Heaters on patio which were very appreciated on a cold day."

Cons:

• "The price as you probably read is not cheap, but for a nice brunch on a sunny day it’s a really nice place!"
• "I personally was expecting a lot more considering this is presented as an up-market chain but after my experience."
• "For a veggie breakfast, side of cauliflower and three alcohol drinks being almost £80 is madness to me."
• "Service wasn’t that warm and friendly. One of many recent poor experiences at the Daisy Green chain."
• "The food was good, although portions were small for its price."
• "We had to eat outside in the cold as the inside tables were 'reserved' but I did not see anyone show up for their reservation."
