This place was amazing We had the seafood basket, and it was perfect, not oiling. The amount was just right, and the price was great. The coffee was delicious. The staff are very welcoming and friendly, highly recommended to go have a meal.

They have a great little private corner if you’re an introvert like me. Pillows and great food; a winner

A very quirky little cafe with great atmosphere. Perfect place to grab a coffee, breakfast, brunch or whatever. Food was good and well priced. It could benefit from a spruce up to the outdoor patio area. Maybe some plants to form a border to offer privacy. If you are looking for somewhere to pass the time while you are getting work done on your car … I would recommend checking this cafe out. A real hidden gem in an otherwise industrial area

This was one of the best meals I ever eaten. The cheeseburger tasted just how a cheeseburger should, juicy and amazing mix of sauces. The avocado on toast was just right with delicious feta. Great for a quick stop in or a study area. Would recommend and would come back again
