I loved this cafe. So charming and the food is delicious. The decor is delightful and the views out onto the quiet street are just what you need first thing in the morning with your coffee. The slice of pie that I ate was melt-in-your-mouth perfect. more

Our meal wasn't quite as good as we hoped, sardine sandwich was fine but the British breakfast was very ordinary, tasteless and nothing like what the British eat actually.

Highly recommended by a "foodie" friend. Nice atmosphere but tables are way too close together and it was rather warm in the restaurant. Also, it doesn't plainly state that they take "cash only". We found this out as we were paying our bill. Our sandwiches were good...one was brie and herbs, and the other was cheese and mushrooms. The servings... more
