5 Stars – A Must-Visit Brunch Spot! Absolutely loved this coffee shop! The food was beautifully presented and tasted even better – fresh, colourful, and full of flavour. The smoked salmon eggs benedict and grilled halloumi were perfection, and the Turkish-style breakfast platter was generous and delicious. The coffee was smooth and perfectly made, and the staff were warm, friendly, and welcoming. You can feel the care in everything they do. Can’t wait to come back – highly recommend!

Great little cafe with friendly warm customer service to match. Just a shame coffee or tea not included in the price breakfast at £15.50. Mediterranean Breakfast + Flat White [£18.80] Highly recommended

Such a lovely cafe, took my mum for a brunch on her birthday. The food and the customer service was absolutely amazing. A very chilled spot you can sit down have a good catch up gossip have your drinks then your food and even amazing desserts to finish off your wonderful time out at this place. The variety of the food is astonishing as not every cafe has the ability to be this creative. This is my new go to spot, would highly recommend !! :)

The crêpes are delicious and the coffee is great. It's a cozy space with nice and friendly staff. So nice to have a place like this to have an expresso at my lunch break.

Such a cute café! The interior is lovely, staff were super friendly and welcoming. We went for breakfast, great food and drinks, and they even gave us some baklava as a treat. Turns into a bar later with a nice cocktail menu, so I’ll definitely be back to try that!

The best breakfast I’ve ever had, amazing food. Fantastic coffee and the mug managed to keep the coffee warm for ages as well. Very friendly staff. Great location.
