A lovely cosy cafe, ideal for a wet Saturday. Seating both inside and out, all the food is homemade and inventive. Definitely worth a visit.

I always go here for a feed and a coffee when visiting colleagues who work around the corner. The service is great. The food is excellent and I love the coffee. The staff are very friendly and polite. Plenty of room to sit inside or outside. Nice cosy and friendly

We ordered the signature scrambled eggs on sourdough. Came with prosciutto, truffle, spinach, parmesan, tomatoes. DIVINE! So much flavour & colour. Presented beautifully & accompanied with really good coffee. Service was friendly & fast. Atmosphere was cosy & bright and the temperature inside the cafe was just perfect. What an absolute gem of a place. Will be my go-to cafe in future.
