The only table available when we went in still had the prior customers dirty mugs, cutlery etc. It took a while before someone cleared this, but it was done without being asked, although they did only clear half of it and returned sometime later and cleared the rest (inefficient), with no wiping of the table.
We ordered scrambled eggs on toast and coffee. The coffee came out relatively quickly and the coffee was okay, but not extra hot as requested, merely barely warm. It was definitely sometime before the eggs on toast were served. The staff serving it did apologise for the long wait. It wasn't until after we left that I ascertained what was wrong with the eggs. The eggs had been mixed with a fork and then had been cooked in a microwave, without actually being rebeaten or anything. So they weren't nice "fluffy cloud-like scrambled eggs", it was more like a plain rubbery omelet which we were served. The place was very busy, but that is no excuse for a long wait to be served very ordinary eggs. Good scrambled eggs aren't that difficult to make.

The concoction was well executed, tasting amazing and super yummy. It actually looked too pretty to be eaten. The cauliflower salad was another hit to the tastebud. It was very well seasoned and delicious. I never knew cauliflower could taste that good. The coffee was also very good, much better than other places that I have been. Do get to this place early as it gets very busy later in...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThe staff processed our order quickly, but I felt the service was lacking in two respects. Firstly, I asked if the BLT was made with sourdough - the staff member did not know, and did not offer to find out for me. Secondly, we were not asked if we enjoyed our meal, nor were we farewelled. The BLT was quite ordinary in taste - very little of the advertised truffle aioli on the sandwich, making it quite dry, especially with 'ordinary' bread. I would not be in a hurry to return or...
