I cannot fault the staff. They were very friendly. The food was good however I can't say it was anything special.. especially not for the price I paid. £10 got me a full English with 2 eggs 2 sausages 2 tomatoes 3 bacon some wedges and mushrooms. The food was good in taste and quality and came out piping hot. I had to pay £3 extra for a cup full of their "baffled spicy beans" and again they were nothing special. To be fair if you're going to brand beans in that way I feel they should be included in the breakfast and not as an extra. The hot chocolate I ordered was creamy and tasty as well but at £4 for a large, I've had better for less. All in all the food as a whole was good but considering the cafe has so much competition close by that offers similar quality for less, it's baffling (see what I did there) why they would have such steep prices and nothing unique to show for it. Finally I'd like to talk about the decor. The lighting is very dim which does make the place feel cozy but with the plasterboard covered counters and the 2oodennfloor board, it kind of feels like it's a place that is only half finished.. Seating in the cafe is quite cozy and not in a good way. To one side is a long bench that covers the full wall with tables lined up covering the distance and a stool on the other side of each table. If you're going in for a quiet priv as the conversation forget it because as more people come in they are sitting right next to you with no separation at all... I get they are limited on space and have had 5o make do but when I'm eating I don't particularly want someone else's back side squeezing between the table to get onto the bench. All in all I'll give 4 out of 5 for food but I'll knock off 1 star for the price and I'll give 3 out of 5 for the actual look and feel of the cafe.

2024 update: Just had the Baffled Meat breakfast for the umpteenth time, and thought I should tell people how good all the breakfasts are, here! And now they're opening a couple of evenings, too (Thursday & Friday, atm, changing to Friday and Saturday from Feb'24) - booking recommended! 2022 review: Despite the name, this is not just a coffee shop. I've tried several of their delicious sandwiches, both hot and cold, over the last couple of months and then yesterday, a group of us tried their chicken salad (with separate, super tasty dressing), roast vegetable salad and, for pudding, triple chocolate brownies - they were all absolutely superb. I'd definitely recommend a visit.

Happy Mistake Was looking for another coffee shop, walked across town only to discover they where closed. But only a few doors down was this little gem. Staff are great, coffee even better. Highly recommend! (Disclaimer : I don't believe in negative reviews. If I don't enjoy my experience I just don't go back. Life is to short to relive a negative experience by complaining about it. But if it's great, why not tell as many people as possible to ensure the business continued success!)

Wow! Where have you been hiding that salt beef all my life! Great coffee, delicious brunches, from salt beef hash to salt beef benedict to salt beef vegetarian corn bread thing (only kidding about the salt beef on that one, but they'll do it, if like me you're obsessed with it). First time visitor, but definitely will not be the last,I want to try the gyros, the sandwiches and don't get me started on the cake. Go now, I order you.... Update Jan 2020... Still great!

Love this place, usually get a takeaway via a food delivery service so it was nice to sit in for once. Visited a few times since, the food is great, coffee well made every time and they offer a nice selection of cakes. The food and drink on offer have a selection for every type of diet which is good. The staff are very friendly and helpful. My favourite dish so far was the kedgeree, I can't find this dish at many outlets so it's refreshing!

Just wonderful 😊 Great coffee blend and outstanding cakes! Breakfast was delicious too! Only gripe was that the "grilled haloumi" in my sandwich was cold, and therefore very hard. Pre-grilled and cold was not what I was expecting. I expected that the grilled haloumi would be warm- I didn't clarify and I guess it's my preference but that's my only gripe. Otherwise it was nice! Will be back!
