    It's basically a perfect cafe. The menu is varied so that adults and children can enjoy together, and the friendliness of the staff and cleanliness of the cafe stands out. Foods that can be enjoyed with fusion are equally delicious and there is something quite unique and special about this cafe compared to others which is spectacular. I will definitely be going to this place again as it met all my standards and if I'm being honest, there really isn't anything wrong with this place as it has a nice vibe and comfortable atmosphere.

    We came here for lunch and ordered a couple of burgers and some coffee. I love the coffee, very nice latte art and tasted great. The burgers were also quite tasty, though I feel like there wasn't enough meat (in this case chicken and crab) to it. Would be keen to come back and try the other dishes though.

    This is my go-to working cafe. The wifi always connects instantly to my devices. Coffee and brekkies are great. Loads of space for working and meetings.

    Very nice breakfast spot! The servers were friendly and food came out quickly! Parking is a PITA as others have mentioned but we’ll worth the extra hassle!

    MY FAVOURITE CAFE. THE OMINIYAKE OMELETTE AND SUPER BROWN SHAKE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST. If I could afford this everyday I would order this every day and never get sick of it. Always fresh and tastes like no place else. The staff are extra friendly and always know to make my husbands coffee just warm and not too hot. Love this place. Great vibes and food 👌👌

    For around 5 years while I was working next door, this was my go to place for breakfast. Triple shot cappuccino and almond croissant (or cinnamon roll in case the latter was unavailable). Judy and Luke offers the most exceptional customer service and create a fantastic environment here often with great mellow yet uplifting music (I’ve shazammed here a bunch of times). Parking is a challenge but that’s beyond their control. The kitchen produces salads, sushi and pastry based food and my absolute favorite is the chicken and mushroom filo pastry. Even though I don’t work there anymore, I stíll visit to relive the experiences of the good old days.

    Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Thought the soft shell crab burger was on black bun but turns out it wasn't - it was a good bun though i have to say! Parking could be an issue.

    Just about everything was mediocre. Nothing stood out, but the coffee was reasonable. Parking was a challenge and had to lift the pushchair up steps to get in (not cool). Overall a sub par experience.

    Was lovely. Recommended. Just parking an issue.

🫤 Not a fan. I couldn’t drink the cocktail, it was cloying and unbalanced. We also received our food first and waited well over 5 minutes for drinks - they should really hold the food until you have your drinks with you. No one wants to stare at expensive small bites going cold while you await a bever...
