What User likes about The Café:
nicer place, had paid james brown. that's a plus. eating was good, nice clean. definitiw no small school café. I am modern caffe. not a place to bring a date when they don't plan to date them long. they could get the wrong message. a little too beautiful for short term. love View all feedback. What annalyse doesn't like about The Café:
After we finished eating, they asked us if we were almost done and ready to go because they needed the table we were using. Not a great way to keep costumers, especially if you don't know whether or not they are ordering any desert/to-go food, so you lost money by doing this as well. Haven't been back since because we don't feel very welcome anymore, which sucks because we enjoyed this place prior. View all feedback.

This place always has great breakfast/brunch and the coffees are amazing. Would recommend to anyone that wants a slightly higher end brunch.
