Great little spot, delicious fresh food and friendly efficient staff. Lots of exciting options on the menu. We enjoyed some coffee and breakfast. We will definitely be back to try some of the lunch options!

Service was excellent and the waiters were nice (a little slow as they don’t have many waiters, but this is to be expected during the Christmas season). The food was fresh and well presented, although some of the dishes were a little bland. The tuna wonton nachos were delicious! We will definitely come back again to try some of the other dishes!

The food and coffee was amazing the flavours were definitely flavouring, however extremely small portions, would have loved a small side of chips or salad. Overall very nice, but would just get a takeaway coffee outside Also pet friendly on a leash
