The Place:
You can sit inside or outside. This gorgeous cafe is smack bang in the middle of the cafe district and just a stone’s throw from all the shops. There is lots of cabinet food or a full on breakfast, brunch or lunch menu. You can have vegetarian or go gluten free. The coffee is always great here and today was no exception.
The Service:
The service was great and friendly. It always is here.
The presentation:
As you can see the dish was nicely presented, enough to tempt my taste buds.
- The Benedict – good. was really great. Have been here a few times and they never fail to please.
- The Muffins – well cooked, were good as ever.
- The eggs – perfectly good. Runny and Warm and Free Range as a FYI.
- The Spinach – came as part of the dish and not a side. The spinach was yummy.
- The bacon – was great.
- The hollandaise – homemade, thick and creamy without drowning the plate
Would we go again?
Yes, you can always expect to get great service and great food.
