Great spot to stop for lunch. A welcome alternative to the bland chain-cafés. Delicious food and great vegetarian options. We were even able to eat outside in the blazing sunshine!

Response from the owner

One star for friendly staff, I got buttermilk pancakes. Looks lovely on the plate but very disappointing.

I paid pretty much €10 for 3 small pancakes bit of fruit and syrup. It was hard as a rock very strechy, I couldn't even cut through with a knife. It was not fresh at all. The easiest thing to make as well. It seemed to be 2 days old and just reheated.

I did not complain to the staff, as it's pretty obvious what the chefs are doing. If you have a small menu, you should be able to make everything fresh...

Response from the owner

I am so sorry to hear you did not enjoy your visit with us. 😔 All of the items on our menu are cooked to order and we pride ourselves on providing top quality breakfast and lunches. If you had said it to one of the girls on the floor that you were dissatisfied we would not have charged you so I can only apologise for your breakfast and assure you that we will fully take your review on board. Sorry again and enjoy the rest of your weekend 😊
