The woman and I had a very nice lunch here I had the drawn blackburger and the woman ordered the quiche, but then was said they had just used the last portion. the young man at the theke recommended there rice and canola salad....Both accusations came very fast and were served with a smile both meal times were very tasty and the woman commented that she really liked her salat and was glad to have it instead of the quiche. we had both cappuccino coffees that were excellent.

I and my wife came here in a whim to brunch and the place was packed as there was just half a marathon in the city. They were very busy with only two people waiting for, cooking and coffee between them... and even treating the food was brilliant. I had the chicken waffles and the fried chicken was juicy and tasteful, the waffle was fluffy and sweet and the extras on the plate really brought the whole dish together. I consider myself a bit of coffee and her coffee was great! Very recommended for a morning coffee and/or a breakfast brunch. If I were here, I'd be here every week.

Mr. Fox, this beautiful place. I wish I had taken a picture of the menu. Really extensive and cool. Coffee super, staff play a pleasure and great music. I had the smashed Avo, Nabeby had a bagel with pulled pork and... It's delicious. We would recommend and come back to try something else on the menu.

At lunch we were served by nice ladies. We had Chicken and Avocardo Burger and the Nachos Oh my goodness massive. In the past, the Sweet Potatoe Friys were always a hit. Comfy Cute Cafe.

This rating isn’t based on the food but overall. We went specifically for the famous Mac and cheese waffles and fried chicken. We paid for parking on a Sunday (which happened to be after the hbf run), they had been very busy and had run...out of chicken. We left with only a coffee (which was average) and went somewhere else because our second choice and even third on the menu contained the chicken they’d run out of. We tried again the next sunday much earlier (11.30am) and it was empty. We went up to order and again no chicken. We didn’t bother and again went somewhere else. We won’t be giving this place a third try.
