Ordered a small breakfast and it was just enough with toast, I don't have a big appetite. It was hot, properly cooked and delicious! The cafe latte was beautiful too! Staff were friendly, the cafe was clean and tidy apart from a couple of tables that needed clearing, but those customers had left as we walked in.
