Cons:
"I ordered the full breakfast, and it was great except for the sausage, which looked like it was one of the mass produced frankfurters."
"The beans unseasoned portion of 2 big spoons, 3 ridiculous tomatoes barely roasted and seasoned."
"Food was okay, but it tasted like some of the ingredients were overly cheap."

Wait Time and Efficiency

"I have been here for lunch on two occasions and am yet to be disappointed. The portions are healthy and the salads are delicious."
Cons:
"We waited an hour since the order until we got the food. I believe they forgot about the order."
"After we ordered our food it took them 40+ minutes to prepare our breakfast, the food was good, but their service is very slow."
"Also only one cook and very very slow service."
"The wait could have been ok if the food maintained a quality standard."
"We ordered a bacon or sausage sandwich each and drinks. I appreciate they do warn you on the menu that there could be a 45 minute wait but to have to wait 40 minutes for the food to arrive although it wasn't busy was in my opinion excessive."
Value for Money
Pros:
"Reasonable prices, too."
"We loved the food - portion sizes are also big enough + the price range is really reasonable for what you get."
"Despite the high-quality food and exceptional service, the prices remain reasonable."
"This place is a MUST for a hearty and incredibly delicious breakfast options at super affordable prices for London."
Cons:
"Also when the food arrived it was a baguette and not a sandwich as requested. Also I think it was expensive for what it was."
"The price was ok. Other than that, we ordered avocado toast and pancakes. It took almost 45 minutes for the meal to go out."
"Juices are fresh but are also £4.95. Not worth queuing 40 mins for certainly."
