The Heavy Tree
Description

Patrons enjoy hearty breakfasts, mouthwatering vegetarian options, and exceptional coffee, all served by friendly, attentive staff who go above and beyond to cater to guests' needs.

The café is good, but you need to be patient. The service is good, but the wait for food or coffee can be long. Perhaps it's because of the small kitchen?
This restaurant is fantastic! It's always bustling, but the staff are still very welcoming. They go above and beyond to make sure everyone is taken care of. The stuffed mushrooms were delicious. If they offer a bacon filling, be sure to ask if it's trimmed, but in this case, they were.
I visited this restaurant for the first time in December and I am already looking forward to my next visit! I highly recommend the vegetarian breakfast and don't hesitate to order a large portion. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, catering to even the smallest details (they even provide small cutlery for young children). Additionally, the cafe is dog-friendly, which is a great bonus. The coffee is also delicious, and I can't wait to return with my dog!
Today visited to breakfast, the service and the food were really good, but we have absolutely stinking of fat as they have no extractor (or a very bad) in the kitchen. the smell was so bad that we had to go home to change and shower. we sat near the bar/zone and when we looked at the door, they could literally see that the room was full with a haze fat! two windows next to the door is not good enough. they really should not leave a restaurant / cafe stinking of fat. such a scandal as all others were excellent and if they address this one problem, we will, fortunately, return.
