Great food, great coffee and NO weekend surcharge. If you have time this is a great place. Speed is not their strong point. We used to call this the "Crazy Lady Cafe" but not in the last few visits, much more toned down nowadays

Great coffee and the lady serving on Sunday morning was absolutely lovely. A lot of comments here about the wait times but it was refreshing to go somewhere that’s got a relaxed atmosphere and doesn’t feel like you’re being rushed out the door. Also very reasonable prices and no weekend surcharge.

Great breakfast and easy on the pocket. Staff were friendly and the environment relaxed. Food was well cooked and delicious. Recommend this sport for a quick breakfast. Inside and outside seating, easy order with table service. Easy parking on weekends, right on the corner. Give it a go and shop local.

The perfect place for breakfast so long as you’re not in a hurry. That’s not a complaint. I worked out a long time ago that if you’re in for a relaxed breakfast where you can read the paper. When you’re not stressed about getting somewhere in a hurry. This place has the best breakfast. I generally choose the Meat the Day but swap out the avocado for halloumi (Only cause I don’t like avocado).

listen… i love this place and have been coming here for a few years now. the owner is an absolute legend, and always remembers my order! i know a lot of people say the service is on the slower side, and yeah, it can be! but honestly, maybe people just need to chill out and learn to slow down. i know we all get a little hangry sometimes, but if i’m coming here for a coffee and a smoked chicken bagel, i accept it’ll take a bit of time (yes, sometimes 30-45 minutes lol) and that’s okay. no need to be rude to the owner or the staff about it… which i have seen some customers do and it’s actually sad ?? the coffee is good and the food does the job tbh. it’s just an honest little local cafe and i’ll keep coming back ↕
