Anyway, the coffees are terrific and the spot is very nice too.

Last order came in 15-20 minutes after the first one. So we were just waiting. Even the coffee came in after long delays. Food - most of things from menu were not available. Average food.

It wasn't long before our orders were taken but it was a long, long wait for the meals to arrive. Two of us work in the industry and are very tolerant of delays in cafes due to circumstances but this was a ridiculous waiting time.The coffees eventually arrived and were average in flavour. The food came a while later and were large in portion and very nice. Couldn't understand why the salt was in a pepper container with no pepper to be seen then the waiter appeared with the large pepper grinder. I'm thinking that the kitchen was short staffed with another staffer arriving after we had ordered as people that arrived later than us appeared to get their food orders quite promptly. The food was enjoyable but will try a different cafe next time.

The menu is adventurous, the prices are very good, the food is terrific and the staff are attentive. What else do you need, go there.

I waited for a friend to join me so I ordered a coffee, the intention being that when my friend joined me we would have lunch. After waiting for a ridiculous time for a latte to be made and served I decided against eating here. The place wasn't busy so this couldn't be the problem. The coffee was average and the small dog at the table next to me was constantly yapping. I like dogs but REALLY do they have to accompany their indulgent owners. Never Again
