"Service was super friendly, and had the best pancakes I have had in my entire life! Wet chai was also amazing!"
"They just lost 2 stars for charging over the advertised price... Chilli scrambled eggs were great. Coffee up to scratch. Service up to scratch. Clean and friendly."
"Really great food and coffee! The customer service was good and the person that served us was very polite and pleasant :) Downsides were, we went with a dish in mind that we have had many times before and were craving to see its no longer on the menu, our second choices were lovely though. Something else that would have made our meal better was, the tables are all wonky! We sat down at one table that was on a huge slope so we moved to a window seat and the table was crooked again. Also, it was a freezing cold day and was really cold inside there, most people had kept their outer coats on while eating, would have been nice to have a heater on. UPDATE JUNE 2023- We returned after a while for a brunch. 1 of 2 of the meals was great, except missing something stated on the menu, which is fine if they are out, would be nice to be told prior though, my partner was wanting pancakes so we saw there were some on the menu here, that was our deciding factor in coming in here over other places. He said the pancakes were awful, had a strange taste and were rubbery, he told the lady at the end and all that was said was, oh sorry about that. Even though they weren't finished and he brought it to attention, was still charged full price which was disappointing. The presentation was absolutely flawless though, shame the actually pancakes were terrible :("
"The big breakfast was delicious. The best bacon I've ever had, with zero fat. Decent quantity of food. The staff is friendly."
"Fantastic little brekkie joint. Chilli scrambled eggs & big breakfast were well prepared, tasty & very filling. Coffee was easy to drink, no burnt taste. Situated near puffing Billy, would be a nice combination for a day out."
