Amazing food as always. Love that there’s quite a few options for vegans and not just smashed avo on toast like most places. Brought some friends here for first time and they were very impressed esp by the coffee options. Staff are always great but our waiter today was next level. Thanks again.

Very nice High Tea for special occasion. Quite pricey so would only go there for special occasion. Staff were friendly and chatty, but not very attentive. Had to ask for drinks menu twice (first person obviously forgot.) Had to walk to other side of restaurant to order second drink as no staff were in the vicinity for some time.
