Place used to be so good, went back recently to get a few takeout coffees two of which were with coconut milk, when I got home though, my brother and I realised that the two coconut lattes were made with blue milk despite paying the extra 1 dollar for the alternative milk. It was fine as none of us have allergies but could become a serious problem if you do have bad allergies.

Awesome food at reasonable prices, relaxing atmosphere, warm and friendly staff. I especially enjoyed the spanakopita and the coffee. highly recommend if you’re in the area.

Had the steak, served with potato gratin (undercooked), carrots (overcooked) beans (undercooked) steak was fine at best. Chicken wasn't the best seasoning and taste wise, the salad side wasn't bad. Menu doesn't describe what the food is served with. Starters are fine but not sure what exactly was in it. Had to wait a while for mains despite only 3 tables eating at the time. Better off going to balmac around the corner.

unfortunately one of the worst restaurant experiences we have ever had. it took us over an hour to recieve our meals which were missing half the ingredients as they had 'sold out' of half of the food on the menu despite being one of only a handful of tables in the restaurant. not a single thing was seasoned, vegetables were boiled with no salt, fish with no seasoning or sauce. the one positive was the lovely waitress who was extremely remorseful for what we were served yet was there alone with noone to help her whilst struggling with the many obvious challenges. the pricing was extremely high for what was served, even if the portions had not been reduced. one piece of cold brocoli and half a carrot alongside half of a fish fillet for 36 dollars is unbelievable. a small reduction of 14 dollars off an over 200 dollar bill to compensate for the experience. suffice to say we did not stay for dessert and were glad we didn't order starters. recognizing the place is very new to dinner service, we hope there are some rapid and significant improvements made before we would even consider recommending this to anyone else. PS the waitress was awesome and she should be very proud of herself.

Such a cute quaint little cafe, I love the decor with all the antique furniture. The cup and saucer sets that the coffee goes in are lovely.
The coffee itself was okay, but due to the antique style cups which aren't very big there was only really a mouthful of coffee to sip on. I found a hard time picking from the cabinet food as there was nothing labeled as to what each item was. There was also no menu to see what other food and drink options there were.
Some of the tables were a bit crowded with decor so it was hard to find space for coffee and my plate of food.
