I really have to put this on to try and get the girls who work in this place to up their game massively. The single worst breakfast I have had in my life. The Bacon was like hardened plastic and flew off my wife's plate like a tiddlywink when she attempted to put her fork into it, the sausages were the lowest grade known to man, almost 'aero like' a thick crust on the outside, hollow on the inside.

The place could have been a bit cleaner, but it was late in the day and it may have been busy just before we arrived. Unfortunately the cafe closes at 4 pm, as we were politely reminded a couple of times. The coffee Americano was great. The special "high tea" was quite alright, but somehow felt out of place here. Being in the city, there is no outlook, so this cafe really depends on passing trade. Parking nearby behind the Grange centre...
