Customer Reviews:

Ordered an avocado toast, pork Benedict, elderflower soda, and latte. Must say the food is really good though was hoping the food portion could be made just slightly bigger for the pricing. Seats outside are a bit limited and tend to get hot on an afternoon day so indoor seating is the preferred option. Overall, would definitely come again!

Did a trial just for fun and with doubts about drip coffee. Was worried that coffee will be bitter but after trial, found the drip coffee to be so aromatic, with no bitter taste and so convenient. I can now drink coffee guilt-free as I can drink it black… diet friendly= ) I no longer have to grind beans out in filters that often leak out as well. Will definitely continue with the subscription.

Visited for sarnies for breakfast at 8.30 am after a lovely walk around the promenade with the doggo. A cyclist haven for sure and thankfully there were seats to spare even though we didn’t have reservations. Lovely chill vibes with fast service and the food were delightful with reasonable prices. The mixed berry smoothie and rich and creamy cold brew were refreshing and food portions were generous too. Nice place to consider for brunch!
