"Lovely little cafe tucked away on the mezzanine of a building for shared work space. Friendly and helpful staff, comfortable seating and good food. My husband had an all day breakfast today which was well cooked, arrived hot and was very good value. I would have liked my pesto, mozzarella and tomato sandwich to have just a little more tomato, but no complaints otherwise. We have been here a few times already and we will continue to come back."
