​I usually don't do breakfast, but this is incredible!
​I expected plain white toast but got a porridge bread I never expected to taste that good. 👍 Perfect poached eggs with only a hint of spice. The bacon seems to be roasted, not fried, which makes it much more stomach-friendly. Even the avocado somehow tastes better than usual!
​This place opens an hour earlier than any other coffee shop, and the morning hours aren't so busy yet. Lunch hours are usually fully packed. I was also pleasantly surprised to find out they do takeaway for food, not just coffee. Highly recommend!

Awesome pizza & beer. Kinda small, but cool atmosphere inside. Staff is plenty friendly.

Great place to eat, welcoming staff, and very helpful! Helped with allergies and brought extra chips for the younger sibling. Recommend the outside seating and field across the way for running around!
