HIDDEN GEM! Thought I would try this place out as I’ve seen their new brunch menu posters outside the cafe and really enjoyed it! Lovely atmosphere here with attentive and friendly staff. The food looked so professionally done and tasted as good as it looked! Definitely would go back here and is a great hidden gem in the jewellery quarter for brunch.
I had breakfast there which was delicious. fresh bread, brilliant beans. staff very nice, helpful. prices affordable too. they observe precautionary measures and maintain cleanliness. the only complaint I have is the toilet. While the restaurant is clean, the toilet deceived me. The toilet bowl itself was clean but the rest not enough in my opinion.
I come every Friday for a vegetarian breakfast. I look forward to it all week, the food is always really nice and the lady who owns the place is very friendly. I highly recommend this cafe!
Lived nearby for a couple of months, but only found this great place a few weeks ago. Considering its size, this Cafe is often being ignored by people passing by. Thus once you get a chance of walking in, you will finally find out how good it is. A small but cosy environment with a friendly and efficient service. For me, the food quality here might be the highest I could imagine in Jewellery Quarter given their prices. It has now become my regular place for a quick and satisfying brunch, love it!
My Mom & I visited this eatery this morning and I can honestly say… a very warm welcome and a friendly staff member served us. The food was fresh, tasty and generous! Very accommodating for my swaps that I wanted on the breakfast! A large mug of Earl Grey! Almond milk was a choice too! I can highly rate this business and we shall certainly return and soon!
Saw this cafe and decided to stop off and try it out. Ordered a mozzarella, tomato and pesto panini and Cajun chicken baguette. Also, got cheesy fries too. Everything was amazing! It was a great lunch. Plus we sat in the car whilst we waiting and the lovely lady at the counter brought it out to us. Amazing service.
A nice cafe with a small cosy feel to it. Tables are bit hard to sit under with the table legs too close to each other (visit, you'll see what I mean). Felt clean enough to eat safely, but not immaculate to be totally honest. Food was limited in breakfast style options only, but price was very reasonable. Would visit again if I was in the area.
Great service, really tasty no-fuss breakfast for a great price. I've been looking for a place like this for ages. Good honest food.
