My friend and I visited Affogato this morning and were very impressed. We had a warm and friendly welcome from the café team. We had the chorizo and bacon smash and the eggs benedict with salmon.

The poached egg on top was perfectly cooked, and the smash paired exceptionally well with the balsamic glaze! The creamy texture combined with the sweet and tangy glaze was absolutely delicious. Finishing it off with the side salad provided a very refreshing touch. My only complaint? For someone
