We listened to a busker playing popular and relaxing music while I sipped on a delicious latte and enjoyed a scrumptious bacon bap.

We received a warm welcome at the outdoor patio and were seated at a table perfect for our dog, sheltered from the sun. The menu had a variety of options, including vegan choices. We ordered a small breakfast and a 3 oz steak breakfast, both of which were delicious and freshly made. The staff were all attentive and friendly. I would highly recommend this restaurant and bar, and I will definitely be returning next summer.

Rated 3 stars as the music was very loud and bassy for a cafe at that time of day (1pm) on a weekday. Also the cake was a bit dry.
