Cute little restaurant perfect for light meals as the portions aren't very big. I love the aestethic and garden vibes. The food is nice but portions aren't very big, the chicken on the sandwich was a little bit tough on the outside and the sourdough wasn't crispy but overall the food is nice and the milkshakes nice and thick! Friendly staff, excellent service too and the food didnt take long.

Always a winner! I've had the pleasure of dining here with groups of 3-4 people on numerous occasions and the experience has consistently been positive. The staff is always friendly and the atmosphere is lively without being overwhelming. Recently we had a large group of 13 and everything went smoothly – everyone's orders were fulfilled correctly and the service was top-notch. The only minor hiccup was a 10-15minute delay in serving the food. While I highly recommend most items on the menu the burgers didn't quite live up to expectations this time considering the price point. However the rest of the dishes were made to perfection. The Chicken Tikka Burger unfortunately didn't impress anyone at the table so I wouldn't recommend it. On the other hand the cappuccinos and milkshakes are always a hit and highly recommended. Overall I'd still highly recommend this spot for breakfast or brunch – it's perfect for any occasion!
