Personally, I love this little cafe. Their coffee is unbeatable not to mention the cakes...On weekends, they also prepare extra delicacies for guests with a sweet tooth like me. I've already had the chance to try several breakfast and lunch options plus seasonal menus, but none of them have disappointed me so far. You get really tasty, eye-catchingly decorated large portions no matter what you order, so you won't go home hungry! I also really like the staff, they are nice, always smiling, it's easy to start a conversation with them, and they also take jokes well. I highly recommend it to everyone.

We visited for lunch on a Saturday. This is a small, cozy cafe with great atmosphere. The staff were welcoming and great throughout. The menu is not overwhelming, few breakfast and few lunch options with a couple of specials on the board. Just perfect. The food is AMAZING, it was definitely made with such care, and the cook should be proud of it. The cakes were also great. There is a small corner section with some snacks you can buy too. We will be back!

Second time we've been for brunch here and both times it's been fantastic. Something a bit different then want you find on Whiteladies Rd. The staff are super friendly and coffee is great too. The lunch menu looks good too.

This is such a lovely spot!! The atmosphere is so cosy and the staff are so kind. The coffee is delicious and they have a great menu wide a wide range of options, with different takes on your standard cafe menu. I would recommend the smashed avocado and feta on toast (with beetroot yogurt and salad cress). Thank you!!

Tried here for the first time this week and can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu! We had the full Hungarian breakfast (we removed the beans as we both aren’t keen) but I would 100% recommend. Large portions, fresh tasting meat and something a bit different to the standard English breakfast. The staff were very lovely too, and we had a lovely morning here. We didn’t book, just walked in and there was space. It did get busy but I think you wouldn’t need to wait long for a table, you can also pre-book. Will be back again soon!!
