No reservations for small groups, so had to queue for 15 mins. Staff were really on it though, got my order sorted fast. Good spot for a quick, relaxed lunch. Music was decent too.

The meal deal was a nice portion for two. And they were happy to apply the blue light discount, which was appreciated.

The gelato was really smooth and creamy, just like you&#39;d get in Italy. The chocolate sorbetto was a nice surprise, quite rich. A bit on the pricey side, but it&#39;s a decent treat.

The mushroom masala was the standout. The mushrooms had a surprisingly meaty texture that held up well, and the heat from the spices was just right&mdash;warming, not overwhelming. The popadoms came pre-broken into ideal pieces for the chutneys. A solid choice for the vegetarian options.

Love that they have outdoor tables and are dog-friendly! Plenty of space for our group and my pup. It was a bit loud from the street, but we still had a good catch-up. Perfect for a casual hangout with friends.

Been coming here for years, and the soup is always just right. Thick, flavourful, and always hot. It&#39;s the one thing I know I can count on.

Been coming here for years. Their lunch portions are still generous, prices fair. You get a proper plate of food for what you pay.

Booked ahead for afternoon tea, which was a good idea as it&#39;s a cosy spot. The service was polite and professional, they handled our preferences without any fuss. The scones were decent, though the clotted cream portion felt a bit modest. A pleasant experience overall.

Those halloumi fries are a must-order! Perfectly crispy outside, gooey inside. Shared a big gyros platter with my mates and it was loaded with meat. Great spot for a casual catch-up.

Cosy spot, really liked the decor. Food came super quick, maybe 10 minutes after we ordered? The coffee was a highlight for me, really well made.

Julie and Alun were super helpful with my gluten-free options. Quick to suggest a few things, sorted me out fast. Made the whole lunch break easy.

The coffee is really good here. It&#39;s got a deep, smooth flavour without any bitterness. Just a solid cup. The owners are friendly too, which is a nice bonus.

Stopped by quite late, around 10pm. They were still open and very welcoming, which was a relief. It&#39;s nice to find a spot that&#39;s so accommodating with their hours and service.

Staff were attentive and friendly. Explained the menu well, checked on us regularly. Good service made for a smooth business lunch.

Pad Thai was ready in minutes for pickup. Still hot when I got home, which was perfect for a quick lunch.

Really appreciate the gluten-free menu here. The staff took the time to highlight all the safe options for me on a physical menu, which made ordering so much simpler. It&#39;s a small thing, but it meant I could just relax and enjoy my meal without having to double-check everything.

Used the upstairs space for a team dinner. Pre-ordered menu was executed well, service was prompt and handled everything. A solid, hassle-free option for a business function.

The mini-fish was a nice light lunch. The space itself is really pleasant, lots of natural light and comfortable seating. Just a good spot to relax for a bit.

The team here are just so lovely. They&rsquo;ve got a real knack for making you feel looked after without it being over the top. It&rsquo;s a nice change from places that feel a bit too polished or rushed.

The wine tasting with Lewis was the best part. He&rsquo;s such a good host, really knows his stuff and makes it fun. Learned a lot without it feeling like a lecture.

The new adult bento combo is pretty good. A decent variety of items, all of which were tasty. The salmon was particularly nice. A solid lunch option.

Popped in for the midweek lunch special. The sea bream was cooked just right. Sat outside which was really pleasant. Tyrell remembered us from last time, which was a nice touch. A relaxed spot for a quiet bite.

The coffee&#39;s the main draw here. They use proper Italian beans, gives it a distinct, slightly nutty flavour. That&#39;s what I come for. The place is fine, but honestly, I&#39;m just here for the cup.

A lovely neighbourhood spot. The food&#39;s tasty and looks great on the plate - perfect for a relaxed catch-up.

Been coming here for years, and the team always remembers my usual. Last time they whipped up a mango lassi off-menu for my partner, just because she mentioned craving one. That kind of attention keeps me coming back.

Our waiter really knew the menu. His recommendations were spot-on, especially for the lighter dishes.

I was curious about the desserts here. The sundae with edible glitter caught my eye, and it was a fun choice. The baked cheesecake was nice too, though I wish the portion was a bit larger. Both were quite fresh.
