The place can be very crowded, and a long line can form even in the early morning. This makes me very anxious and stressed whenever I dine alone… So I don’t visit very often :) but it’s definitely worth an early morning walk across the river.
We did then have a bit of a disaster - the cafe was only taking cards, and the payment provider kept crashing when I tried to pay. After 5(!) goes and about 15 minutes at the till, it finally went through. This could have been quite embarrassing but the staff were all super nice and did their very best to sort everything out. Unfortunately because of that they also missed our food order having had to hand write it - however when we pointed it out, they put a rush on our food. Everyone (including me and the other patrons stuck behind me in the queue) remained good humoured throughout, and the staff made up for it by knocking money off the bill, and giving us some extra iced coffees.
Despite the palaver, the food was lovely, and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit, and wouldn't hesitate to go back. The owners should be really proud of the staff they have here - they absolutely know how to treat customers, even when things seem to be going a bit pear shaped!
We each had a lovely pancake brunch, not had any like this before. Worth a visit, looked like some lovely cakes too
