3.0Vito Calo

To start with, a super busy and lively place, that's good. The food was like a roller coaster of excitement and disappointment. The products were very fresh and great quality. I ordered the roast beef sandwich; the taste of the sourdough was excellent, the roast beef was perfectly cooked to the point that it looked like beef carpaccio. The only down thing was that it lacked a touch of something more Dijon, salt or pepper and less arugula. My pear and almond tart was beautiful, but something was missing again!. That extra touch to make food unforgettable. My coffee was a total disappointment, the cortado the milk tasted overheated and old. The service was impressive, friendly, and helpful.

Simply wonderful! The breakfast is the kind that delights the soul — every detail is crafted with such care it feels otherworldly. And the banana cake… it’s not just a cake, it’s a true masterpiece of pastry, soft, fragrant, and unbelievably delicious. Every bite feels like tasting a piece of paradise. A place that turns the simple act of eating into an extraordinary experience!

Cozy cafe with a great selection of sweet and savory dishes. They serve breakfast the whole day and lunch from 12:00. I got the banana bread and it was delicious, the portion was a little too big though, I think two people could easily split it :) The only thing I was missing was a matcha latte. Other than that everything was perfect!

Stopped on a trip back from the highlands, and we had to try/visit this after reading about Kember and Jones in The Times. The breakfast was delicious. Staff extremely attentive and helpful. Also took away bagels and cakes for the journey home.

Went here once and had to come back two days later because it was so good. On the first occasion we had the soup of the day (sweet potatoes with coconut milk) and a goat cheese salad. On the second day, we went for brunch and bought a sourdough bread to go and both times it was delicious, the portions were really generous and the whole café looks lovely and cozy.
