The cafe was empty when we walked in with hopeful eyes after reading the menu. The service was lovely. And the food was delicious (although not all will be a fan of the celery and carrots in the mince on the nachos, and the salad could have done with more greens) nonetheless delicious and filled up with more customers by the time we left

Inside, out the back and the visible area under the stairs looked very dirty and not cleaned for a very long time. Service was good though, mango smoothie was very nice, bacon and eggs were good although I'm not sure why you would put vinaigrette below the eggs as it made it taste much worse. Some butter or similar on the bread would allow that crispy crust to melt in your mouth too. The rest of the food was good and overall I would come back.. keep it up.
