Description

Visiting a restaurant in Brighton's Lanes, diners were treated to a mixed experience. Some were disappointed by long waits, lackluster food, and poor communication from staff, with one customer feeling let down after what was meant to be a family treat. However, others praised the cleanliness of the cafe, the quality of the breakfast offerings, and the friendly and attentive staff. Highlights included perfectly cooked eggs and a variety of delicious cakes, while some customers enjoyed the ambiance and service provided by the staff, even receiving a special birthday surprise. Overall, the restaurant seemed to offer a mixed bag of experiences, with some aspects in need of improvement but still providing some positive moments for diners looking for a good meal in Brighton.

Polly and Kaija provided us with a magic afternoon tea with everything we asked for: delicious blueberry and lemon cake cut into half to share with two plates and forks as your cake portions are so generous and we elderlies have smaller stomachs! Really interesting and tasty real lemon and root ginger tea– not had before. Very friendly bright service and didn't have to wait long for anything. Thanks a lot will be back.. Fiona
