Wonderful staff, wonderful coffee. The chap behind the counter that served me, Hassan, was evidently very well versed in not just the making of coffee, but the contextual history of it too. This sharply contrasts most visits to other cafe's where I've stood in awkward silence as the barista rushes to make a coffee, and it made for an intriguing and eye-opening visit!
I had never tried Turkish coffee before, however Hassan walked me through how it's made, and what you can add to it to change the taste based on subjectivity. I ended up taking it to a park whilst reading a book, and it was just magnificent.

The eggs were still uncooked and appeared very wet. I wouldn’t visit...

Otherwise it seemed like a nice place. I don’t like leaving negative reviews but I just think you should up the quality of the food, even just the bread, or reduce the price. Sorry. I’m sure you could say I should have said something at the time but what do you say? Seems like quite a few other reviews mention this about the avocado on toast.
I understand that everything is expensive and running a business is hard but I think this is a small and easy thing to improve on.
Staff were lovely and helpful otherwise. It seems like a lovely little family run business. Might just stick to a...
