A bit of strange experience. Went their for late breakfast and their were 3 staff members (2 girls and a guy) behind the counter. The guy served me. Chose Egg n toast with Avacado. Total was ÂŁ16.70.

The place is clean, bright and airy and not overly noisy even though it was busy. The food here is fab, we have been for coffee and pastries before but not had lunch. I ordered the prawn and coconut curry with rice which was absolutely delicious and definately restaurant class. My friends ordered bubble and squeak with bacon and poached eggs.
