This was recomended to us by someone who knows the area but hasn’t been in several years. Sadly, I think it must have gone downhill. Two of the best looking menu items online are not on the menu anymore when you arrive. Which didn’t leave many options at all as it was already a small menu. The smashed avocado didn’t come smashed, which we discovered was because it was hard and not ripe so you couldn’t smash it. My wife’s coffee was weirdly watery compared to the rest of the table’s. I went for a basic roll and lorne sausage since the two things I planned to have from the online menu were both gone (French Toast / Homemade Granola). It was maybe the worst roll and sausage I’ve had.

My wife had the French toast which also lambasted previous attempts in other establishments into the...
Read moreHave visited here numerous times in the past with no issue however the last couple of times last week were nothing short of dire. Let me just say the food is excellent so no problems there - it's the service (or lack of). We visited for breakfast and eventually our drinks order was taken. I told the waitress we were ready to order food but she said the kitchen staff were not. A couple who had arrived after us got their drinks before us - sorry, but I just think this is really shoddy and shouldn't happen. I saw another couple complain I think because we arrived after them and they hadn't had their order taken either. The next time I went in for takeaway and ended up standing there at the counter like a lemon for about 10 minutes - none of the kitchen staff acknowledged me so I just left and went to...
