Whether we’re having a business meeting indoors or enjoying a weekend brunch outside with friends and our dog, the outdoor tables are perfect for soaking up the sun. The food is consistently amazing. I adore the way they decorate dishes with pretty flowers—I'm a total sucker for that! I always find myself pulling out my phone to capture a few photos of the same smoothie from different angles. Totally worth it! The menu does change slightly with the seasons, but it never fails to impress. Trust me, you can't go wrong with their baked pancake. You're welcome!

This is a cool little cafe with really great staff and some decent food. <br/ <br/ Theres a normal menu and a vegan menu Which is a nice touch. I went for the Commoner which is their big breakfast. Eggs were chilli fried and the venison sausage and miso potatoes are the stars of this for me. The thick cut bacon was massive but i feel lacking in flavour compared to other components. The relish the serve is great. <br/ <br/ I accidentally got a cheese scone on the way out. So fluffy worth every penny.<br/ <br/ Would like to return for lunch

I hope to see even more vegan choices in the future. Also, the coffee here is excellent!

I noticed another table enjoying a spectacular-looking European-style pancake. I've seen them in cookbooks, but this was my first time seeing one in a cafe. While the filling didn't quite appeal to my tastes, it certainly made for a dramatic brunch choice. My partner enjoyed a lovely apple tart, beautifully presented. The coffee was excellent, and since it was a long weekend, I treated myself to a cocktail, which was enjoyable. Notably, the clientele were well-dressed, adding to the cafe's charm. There was also a lovely bouquet of flowers on one of the tables, and they provide blankets for outdoor seating if the weather isn't warm.
