Nice, friendly cafe with a nice menu and great coffee.

The service is nice and friendly here, table service, even outside, which seemed a bit odd but I guess the way they do it. Things are a bit on the expensive side but good quality. Coffee was fine, not amazing but pretty good.

Great for larger groups due to the seating outside. Excellent for summer too.

Nice place which is open even on Sundays at yearly morning. Good coffee and friendly staff. Tasty food.
Slightly over priced , in my opinion, but good portion size.
Overall: strong 5.

This was really disappointing, I got coffee and pancakes. The coffee was good but I had to go and ask for a spoon and sugar. The pancakes where very stodgy and poorly described on menu. I'm not sure what was on them, yoghurt maybe but it wasn't very nice. They also have no WiFi.

Managed to snag a table on a busy Saturday morning and had a lovely coffee and breakfast. It was pretty pricey but a lovely venue and the food was super yummy. I got Shakshuka and my friend the avo toast

Really nice place for brunch. Bright, airy and high ceilings. Service was quick and attentive. Really enjoyed the avocado toast with salmon and capers, very flavorful so you can tell the ingredients are good quality. Chemex drip coffee and chocolate Tiffin was good as well.

I love the interior. But the taste of a coffee isnt good. The milk was overheated and the espresso was really bitter. They have some local England roasted beens from coffee officiana, they had some bland which wasn’t good. It contains American and African coffee beans, they don’t fit together.. if you wanna go for good coffee just choose something else like hot numbers or Bould brothers. I don’t wanna be mean, but the coffee was horrible. I think that in that bland is robusta, so it isn’t 100% arabica. But it dispenses which tipe of coffee do you prefere. This is more like Italian style of coffee place. But the think which I really like on this coffee place is that they use minor figures oat milk, which is, in my opinion, the best option of alternative milk for cappuccino or latte.

Modern / hipster vibe with welcoming staffs. I really wanted to like this place but It’s shame that I just didn’t like the pancake - it’s not usual pancakes made from flour and not sweet at all - would have been nice if this was described on the menu (the menu is rather simple so would recommend to ask the staff for the details). Coffee was too sour for my taste.

Food was pretty good but the pricing was a bit excessive (£14 for one egg & 1.50 for an extra shot). Would have given 4 stars but as we were leaving the manager rather highhandedly tells us “sorry we are closed now, we have to ask you to leave” just as we were picking our stuff; very very ridiculous behaviour on his part and insensitive (he waited for the two white girls to pack up and leave and then closed the cafe). Do better!

strangely enough until that moment I was resolved to make this my weekly Sunday brunch place, despite the price, but obviously not a “minority friendly place” so better go elsewhere.
