Reviews
Delicious. We both got the meaty breakfast but they had such a good selection of eggs, vegetarian version, and french toast. The apple juice and coffe was also very tasty and refreshing. Service was good dispite how busy it was. Recommend getting a cake whilst you’re there ;)
Read on Google MapsBusy, bustly cafe. Excellent selection of cakes too. I had the best eggs benedict I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a few. Service was very quick for us and our server was great even though it was packed out. Good vibe and decor too. Very loud, but it did not bother us.
Read on Google MapsWe had eggs Benedict with hot smoked salmon, poached egg on toast, croque monsieur and a side of square (Lorne) sausage. The poached eggs both on own and in eggs Benedict were slightly overdone with egg yolk solid. I’d normally expect runny unless requested. The hot smoked salmon was delicious, the croque monsieur was superb, strong cheese and lovely sauce with tasty ham in the middle. The sourdough bread was good. Washed down with coffee and tea. The coffee was better than the tea to our taste. You have to book, not sure why as many tables empty. The tables were very very close together and the music a little loud for me (old age). Service was prompt, polite and efficient.
Read on Google MapsThis was such a cute restaurant! And even though it was HOPPING, the service was fast and high quality. The food was very good - I got an amazing croque madame that hit the spot! The drinks were delicious. Everyone in my party enjoyed their breakfasts!
Read on Google MapsWas on a day trip from Edinburgh and was looking for a good breakfast spot walking distance from the Queen street train station. Saw the food reviews and decided to pop in. Friendly hostess grabbed a menu and took me upstairs to the cutest little table next to a window. Small wait before the waiter came up to me but this menu has great options. Decided on the French toast and it did NOT disappoint! Portion was amazing, food was warm & it had a cute cafe vibe. Super clean bathrooms upstairs too. I was on a bit of a time crunch which I told the waiter and my food came within about 10 minutes of me ordering. I would absolutely come here again and so should you!
