All the staff were so friendly and attentive, we went for a birthday celebration and the wonderful waitress came out singing happy birthday and put a candle on our dessert (I even forgot that I made this request) service was wonderful and the atmosphere of the place is nice, not cramped or too loud. The food is delicious and reasonably priced!

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.
