My new favourite local brunch spot. Tasty and interesting menu which changes regularly, with loads of inventive combos. Friendly people and quick service. It’s also a great schadenfreude experience to watch people exercise while you munch on sourdough brunch stacks or pancakes. 10/10.

Can’t believe I’ve only just tried this place! Loved the haggis nachos and the burger was one of the best I’ve tasted. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu
