Staff were really friendly and helpful when I asked to swap out a side dish. The place itself is clean and has a nice, relaxed feel. For what you pay, it&#39;s a decent spot.

Been a regular for years, and the consistency is impressive. The ingredients always taste incredibly fresh, which is what keeps me coming back. The view is a lovely bonus.

Been coming here for years, always get the bacon bap. The bacon is just right, not too greasy, cooked perfectly. It&#39;s the reason I keep coming back when I&#39;m up this way.

Stopped in for a quick lunch. The staff were so friendly, and I ended up grabbing a slice of their lemon tart to go. It had this perfect crumbly base and just the right amount of tang. A nice little find!

The iced chai latte was pretty good. The staff were nice, Ellen in particular. For an airport spot, the atmosphere is decent. A solid choice if you&#39;re waiting for a flight.

The staff here are genuinely lovely. They noticed I was juggling a couple of wine glasses and my plate, and just came over to help carry it all to the table. That sort of attentiveness really makes a difference when you&#39;re trying to focus on your pairing.

Breakfast fry was solid, the sausage had good flavour. But the real star was the soda bread &ndash; perfectly crisp. Paired it with a surprisingly good house Bloody Mary, which really cut through the richness. Potato bread was nicely chewy too. A satisfying start to the day.

The white chocolate mocha was a bit too sweet for my taste. The coffee itself was nice and strong, though.

The name&#39;s philosophy is a nice touch. Food was spot on, but the real star was the wine list. They had a fantastic Rioja that paired beautifully with the grilled octopus. A bit on the pricier side for the pours, but worth it for the match.

Been coming here for years, and their brunch menu is always solid. The avocado toast is just right every time - not too soggy, not too dry. That consistency keeps me coming back.

The free drinking water and milk after a run is a nice touch. The milk is chilled, not just room temperature. It&rsquo;s a small thing, but it hits the spot when you&rsquo;re parched. Makes a difference compared to other places that don&rsquo;t offer anything.

Really enjoy the small plates here, they always have something new. The beef shin was lovely. My only thing is the tables are a bit close together, so it can feel a little cramped. Still, a nice spot for a relaxed meal.

Frozen yogurt was solid. Good selection of flavors and toppings. The pistachio one was a nice surprise. Atmosphere is chilled, good spot to cool down.

The Americano with Blue Mountain beans was really mellow, with a nice sweet finish. Went for the bagel with red peppers too, it was a solid choice. Just a decent, straightforward coffee stop.

Came for breakfast before a meeting nearby. The cozy vibe was just right for a quiet start. Got the avocado toast with poached eggs &ndash; the eggs were perfectly runny. A solid, simple spot.

Been coming here for years, and the morning crew is always on point. They remember my usual order, coffee&#39;s ready fast even when there&#39;s a queue. Just makes the whole start of the day smoother.

Been coming here for years, always get the baked potato with peppered sauce. It&#39;s fresh, good portion for lunch. Simple and reliable.

The Belfast fry was massive, honestly could have fed two. Sausages were spot on, black pudding was decent. Iced coffee hit the spot on a warm day. Just a solid, no-fuss lunch.

I drop by between classes or to get some work done. The tomato and mozzarella panini is solid, and the atmosphere is quiet. Staff are polite and efficient. A reliable spot for a quick, focused break.

The flat white here is consistently good. Smooth, not too bitter, with a decent layer of microfoam. Their house blend works well with milk. It&rsquo;s my usual order when I need a proper coffee fix in the area.

Almond croissant was unreal. Perfectly flaky, not too sweet. Grabbed one with a flat white on a rainy morning. Hit the spot.
