A charming cafe tucked away in an unexpected location, offering basic fare and all-day breakfasts. Despite some disappointing experiences with plastic utensils, the food quality and portion sizes make up for it, with friendly and accommodating staff. The menu is simple but caters to various tastes and dietary needs, with reasonable prices and a cozy atmosphere. Visitors can expect delicious home-cooked meals, clean facilities, and helpful service. A hidden gem well worth discovering, especially for those seeking hearty and satisfying dishes in a relaxed setting. Highly recommended for a pleasant dining experience.
