OVERALL: 9 / 10. VALUE: not too big, not too small portions, good value. SERVICE: understanding and friendly with many regular customers. FOOD: V and GF options, they got all the usual stuff nothing experimental or gourmet. AMBIENCE: it's inside a shopping centre so NOT a quiet place. *I'm reviewing the vegetarian omelette.

Had lovely Big Breakfast here with fresh juices. Staffs are friendly. We’ll be back. Highly recommended Update: 12.03.2025 yummy Decaf Double Choc Mocha. Carrot cake just ok, it needs more icing and it’s a bit dry.

Very cool cafe with super friendly staff, great food and very very good coffees and hot chocolates. Their pistachio biscotti are to die for!

The ambience is amazing, enjoy my time there. Enjoyed the food too. I didn’t get the best as there’s limitation of food. I am gluten free so I settled for just that. Everything in there was cooked very well. I will come back

Amazing food and coffee every single time! The consistency here is outstanding – they always get the flavours spot on with every visit. My absolute favourite is their salmon and avo Benny – hands down the best I’ve had anywhere. Highly recommend this café!

Ordering via QRcode is all good and well except when dishes are served missing ingredients and no one bothers to come and notify you. Ordered the Moroccan Influence and it came without pomegranates (which were listed on the menu) and a portion of a sweet nut bar (not listed). I’ve had this dish before so the lack of consistency was noticed. Also, asking for a tip before the service means you would rarely be provided one.
