Great food, quick and easy, no tip required, very clean and nicely decorated. We wanted to eat here twice but it wasn't open one evening. Highly recommend for breakfast, lunch or dinner, or anytime in between!

The staff were friendly, even though the café was full. We only had a popover, but the food looked fresh and delicious, they do some gluten-free sandwiches.

Tasty desserts, moderate prices. Eat in or take out, you will be pleased either way. The outdoor dining is another great option

Stopped by for a late breakfast with a friend. We split a popover and hand their breakfast sandwiches. I had the salmon sandwich which was delicious. Ordered at the counter and was promptly given the popover. The rest of the food was ready at the counter in a few minutes. Delicious.
