"Food is good, staff are friendly and their service is top rate."
"I ordered custom eggs and bacon and were cooked to perfection."
"Nice coffee, good selection of other goodies"
4 Ordered a pie and dine-in cappuccino. The pie came first and it was quite good (perhaps a touch dry), the coffee came a few minutes later. Service was really good, let down on this occasion by the coffee. It was closer to a flat white with chocolate sprinkles. No creamy texture, a little watery. Flavour was mild, temperature a little under.
