Menu Variety and Special Dishes
Pros:
"A great selection on the menu to choose from including a number of changing Limited Edition dishes."
"Other items include the Vadouvan eggs which is a personal favourite as well as their corn bread which is a must in all our visits."
"The Vadouvan eggs - 10/10, fresh, herby, spicy, creamy and with great bread."
"Good selection of retail items to take home from coffee beans, secret recipe jams."
"A very tasty brunch spot with outstanding egg dishes and a few specials which I definitely want to go back and try!"
"Great selection of breakfast foods, very much a hipster haven."
"This is THE best brunch/coffee shop in the area - and I've been to my fair share."
"Great place. Nice staff. Chilled atmosphere. I'll definitely come back."
Cons:
"The menu lacks in choices and is mainly focused on eggs, eggs and eggs."
"Zero vegan item on the menu - strange for such a trendy café in 2019."
"The menu is not clear and while it says doughnut sin plural for one of the items you get only 1 doughnut that is nothing special."
"Portions are mostly tiny, so I ordered extra 2 pieces of bacon for £3.50."
"There are only few items on the menu and those are absolutely boring."
"This place has just been taken over and it literally has the worst service I’ve ever had."
"The menu is pathetic. Very few items all of which contains a slice of bread, eggs and some sort of topping."
"Uninspiring menus and not necessarily good for the environment with such heavy emphasis on dairy products."

"The corn fritters bacon and eggs were filling and tasty."
"The home larder pumpkin loaf & pistachio yuzu slice is just delicious."
Cons:
"Food is overhyped and very overpriced."
"The famous egg Benedict’s lacked balance and was too heavy, left feeling queasy and bloated."
"The coffee was excellent, the staff was exceptional, and the food was even better than it looks- and it looks amazing."
"The eggs were slightly cold but not the worst thing, they still tasted pretty good."
"Food was actually very nice here and the service was absolutely insanely fast, like seriously."
"Although will say that my partner has strict sugar restrictions and informed the waitress of such and she was very attentive."
"But the famous egg Benedict’s lacked balance and was too heavy, left feeling queasy and bloated."
"The main issue was the disgusting communal sugar."

"Music too loud. Prices for the food are a joke."
"Customer service felt weird, almost like they were rushing as as soon as we were done eating a plate/finishing a drink they would snatch our plate."
"The service was slow. Had to queue outside even though there were some tables free."
"The music was super loud, to the point you had to scream across the table to speak like you were in a bar."
"Staff -
Pretentious hipsters wearing beanies and oversized jumpers will meet you at the door with 'hey maan, what'ch'can'a'get'ya?'."
"There was a blonde lady leading the customer service. She was rude to her own staff, rude to her customers and we had to leave the restaurant because of it."
"We have been before and food is really good. But we have been really disappointed that they wouldn’t take our small dog inside."
