Absolutely amazing experience. From the warm welcome, recommendations to the end product! Everything was perfect. I had a breakfast Bap with the full works pretty much! And my girlfriend had the BLT. We devoured it and will definitely be back to this cozy home run cafe :).

Just moved in to the area and was in the search of a nice cafe. Great tasting food and a wonderful conversation to go with. Will be returning.

I have been to this cafe a few times, the food is very good but it's the service I admire the most. Very friendly staff who obviously try very hard to satisfy their customers needs. This is what I look for when deciding where to place my custom. The staff are warm and welcoming every time, proper old hillians, salt of the earth types. I see a couple of less than flattering reviews which seems to have been placed by people with very high expectations of what is essentially a small business trying to make it in the world. Give this place a shot, help them help you, perhaps this level of customer service will become the norm one day but for now, the level of service provided and the efforts made in this business are exceptional.

This is exactly how you want a cafe to be. The breakfast was great value (Inc toast and coffee/tea) and the food was lovely. The staff are friendly and attentive. The dining room was nicely decorated and spotlessly clean.

We use the Cafe every Friday and the staff are all lovely and easy to get to know and chat to. The food is truly impeccable even the most niche order they will do everything they can to make it as amazing as possible. From the BSE to a full Large breakfast. It's cliche to say, however the staff make it with love. Would recommend to anyone local or just visiting to check it out
