Lovely vintage Shanghai vibe inside &mdash; really sets it apart. Good spot for a quiet catch-up over tea and cake. Staff even remembered my order, which was a nice touch.

Dylan was so patient with my 90-year-old grandmother, went out of his way to make sure she was comfortable. Really kind service, made the whole visit easy for us.

Tiny spot, no bookings, so you&#39;re rolling the dice on a table. Worth it once you&#39;re in though. Food&#39;s made for sharing&mdash;bring a few people and order heavy.

The French toast was solid&mdash;not too sweet, just right. I got the eggs benedict with spinach too, that was the better pick honestly. Owner chatted with us a bit, gave a straight recommendation, no fuss. Portion size decent for the price, I didn&#39;t leave hungry. Wouldn&#39;t say it&#39;s a must-go, but if you&#39;re nearby it does the job.

The smoothie bowl in the coconut shell was proper tasty. Coffee came in a clay mug, nice touch. Good spot for a healthy feed.

Came for a show at the Viking Theatre upstairs&mdash;small and intimate, really nice for that. Had a quick pint at the bar before, decent spot for it.

The staff here are genuinely lovely &mdash; proper warm welcome and they actually check in on you. Food was decent too, nothing fancy but hit the spot.
