I have just walked out the door of this cafe and left $30 worth of food on the table on the table after eating a single bite. I have been coming to this cafe for years getting the same beautiful scrambled egg and toast. Today I go in and everything has changed. They have buttered the toast in advance without checking with me... The scrambled egg is the texture of couscous and I actually had to pick through it to make sure I had got the right meal... They put chili's on top of the scrambled egg without asking and pour some type of a balsamic vinegar all over the eggs.... I do not know who has taken over here or who the chef is, but they need to be fired immediately...

The banana bliss smoothie was a letdown – warm and oddly flavored, it seemed pre-mixed and made earlier. No ice was used, contributing to the overall dissatisfaction.
The blueberry and white chocolate muffin was equally disappointing. The top 3/4 was dry and plain, while the bottom 1/4 was a soggy mess of blueberries and white chocolate, making it inedible.
Overall, my quick treat turned into a regrettable experience. I would recommend skipping this venue for a more satisfying...
