I had a brunch of the croque croissant which was delicious, filling and great value. The long black was good too. Friendly service, I will be going again.

Wonderful spot for brunch- stylish decor, friendly & attentive staff and glass windows all around letting in the beautiful sunshine. The French toast was so fluffy! The eggs benny came with perfectly cooked eggs and a delicious, generous serve of creamy hollandaise. Croissants were crispy & buttery.

These crepes are so yummy. My wife and I share one for breakfast. Coffee is good too. Also worth noting is that this place changed management a few months ago. I guess the inherited all the one star reviews from the cafe that was here previously which was dismal. You can see the both the effort and tention that goes with starting something new and different. Give it a go you won't be disappointed.

Nice little French food spot, the menu is very appetising. While not everything on the menu was available, there were plenty of alternatives. Young waiter could serve the table a little be more courteously.
