I noticed that several nearby cafés are closed at this time, so it seems that many people are enjoying the hospitality provided here.

This is a beautiful and cozy spot for breakfast. The portion sizes are generous, and the staff is very friendly. read more This is a beautiful and cozy spot for breakfast. The portion sizes are generous, and the staff is very friendly.

After that, we waited 6 minutes for a waitress to come out and then a further 17 minutes for our food. Bear in mind it was only a panini and a sandwich and the rest of the cafe was empty. Firstly, the portion sizes on the side salad were abysmal and the main items themselves were not appealing or tasty at all. I could get over all of that. But then when we paid, it was about £18! For a panini and a sandwhich! Just an overall bad experience I’d say. Meal type: Lunch Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3
