    The food was excellent, tried three different brunch options and all were fantastic😀 Beverages were not served hot and we had to ask for hotter coffees/teas but all in all it was really good.

    The food was amazing quality, simply cant deny that. However, when I arrived I asked the owner on what I should get cause I ate a lot. He said they hahe generous portions that most people could not eat up and if still hungry I should go for the lamb pasta. So I did, but unfortunately I finished it in 5-7 mins and im a guy who is 175, 71kg nothing special, and my good friend she finished hers aswell quite quickly… Food was delicious, expensive for the value, and I left hungry.

    Understand that it is stated in the booking 60mins only. However, it is far too short for anyone to catch up with friends over brunch unless you’re a take out cafe. Was abit shocking when they asked us to leave, and then said oh we could say. Would you like a coffee? And we asked how long do we have left. They said 5 mins. I don’t know how they would have expected us to have ordered coffee and finish it in 5 minutes.

    We arrived early and although our table wasn’t ready, the owner/manager found a great alternative even though the place was busy. Great customer service and a warm welcome with great coffee and food.

    The food tasted good, however the meals were served quite cold. The coffee tasted great, however value for money was not amazing. The ambience would be better if there was some music playing, as it was very awkward inside the cafe. The menu had some good choices, and was presented well.

    I messed up my booking and somehow had asked for a table for 5 when it was just my hubby and myself. FOH was very understanding and allowed me to change the booking. Thank you for that. Coffee is great! Hubby had the pork belly dish and he really liked it. I ordered a Fried Chicken Burger but I did not enjoy it. I expected a thick juicy piece of chicken (thigh/breast), but I got a thin piece of chicken schnitzel, with lettuce, tomato and cheese in a bun, ie a chicken schnitzel roll? I also didn't like the cumin flavour in the mayonnaise. Will order something different next time.

    Our booking was changed by the restaurant and when we showed up at the new time they said we had to wait outside for even longer for our reserved table. Not great for vegans, no swapping out the eggs or cheese on a dish for extra veg - which really limits how many meals are actually vegan options.

    The restaurant is located next to our residence. We frequent the restaurant often. We made the reservation on Tuesday for a table on Sunday at 1230. Our booking included a request for a booth for three people. We arrived at 1230 and were ushered to three stools at the bench at the window. We advised the owner that we had requested a booth. He advised that they were very busy and a booth was not possible. I again advised that we had requested a booth when making the reservation and were dissatisfied. This fell on deaf ears. All they had to do was put a sign in the booth that the booth was reserved from 1230. Our friend that was dining with us is a type 1 diabetic and did not want to have to inject in full public view hence the request for the booth. Also conversation with three people sitting side by side is not ideal.

    The food was fine, but a bit underwhelming. Didn’t really have much cohesion as a dish, and was more just odd bits on a plate. One dish had roasted pumpkins which were soggy and predominantly tasted of oil - very disappointing to receive that at any food establishment. The space in the dining area was also a little cramped. Both my partner and a couple next to us knocked things off the tables on accident whilst trying to squeeze between them to get out, which then resulted in staff having to disrupt the meal to clean things up. More space wouldn’t go a miss. All in all, very mediocre and won’t be returning.

    Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely cafe in. The service is unmatched. The staff truly cares about your experience. The food is absolutely amazing – everything we tasted melted in other mouths. Absolutely the best meal we had while in. Highly recommend! The only sufficient word I can use to describe our dining experience is 'magnifique'!
