What a great little hidden gem. The menu is interesting with a really impressive range of dishes in all courses. The service was friendly and prompt, and the food was delicious. I feel like if it was in a more prominent location it would be packed out on a Saturday night. We'll definitely be going back.

Absolutely fantastic service and great food was amazing. Catch up with friends who haven't been in contact and the staff did not at any point try to rush us or force to order. I love this cafe and have been many times.
