"Incredible food, friendly, accommodating and efficient service. Staff are lovely and open to cater to your needs with non-cabinet food. Very affordable for the amount and quality of food. We had eggs benedict, the eggs were perfectly jammy and runny, but they were open to cooking them through a bit more to a gorgeous tender but solid texture. Bacon soft and crispy, and hollandaise sauce thick and creamy, perfectly seasoned. Coffee was perfectly balanced and custard slice was delectable. Highly recommend!"
