I asked for oat milk as I have a dairy allergy, I watched him make the drink as I lacked confidence, he proceeded to pick up the semi skimmed milk and pour it in. I had to shout out stop I have a dairy allergy. He did remake the drink but did not apologise. If I hadn’t of watched him closely I would have drunk the drink and become very unwell. Please ensure your staff have adequate allergy training and pay closer attention, thank you. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2

I had the haloumi burger, and it was one of the best I’ve had – crispy on the outside, soft inside, with good balance in the toppings. Their coffee is also spot on, strong without being bitter. It’s the kind of spot you walk out of feeling like you got exactly what you wanted. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable cafe that actually cares about what they’re serving.

The sausage bap is my favorite and I often order it at different places. When the baps arrived at my table, the bacon and egg was good, but the sausage bap had a slice of burger cheese and a whole flat mushroom on it, which I wasn't expecting. I asked the chef if they had real cheese, but he only sliced the mushroom and didn't do anything else. I told him I didn't want it and asked for a refund at the till. The chef got upset and started complaining about me in the kitchen. It was very unprofessional of him. Although he eventually came to my table with the refund, his attitude and dirty apron made me want to leave as soon as possible. Overall, it was a terrible experience with terrible service. I would recommend avoiding this place.
