Super delicious！We ordered the Ed breakfast，you can choose the egg either boiled or fried. All stuff are crispy and yummy. Highly recommend ：）
Sophia Sun, 5 years agoNew owners? Still good service but change in seating arrangements and not so cosy. Beer on tap, cabinet food and main sales coffee. Organic coffee sold. Car parking in windmill centre.
Michelle A, 9 years agoThe big breakfast was very odd. My sausage arrived pre cut. When I asked why. He told me it cook faster. The menu said sausages. When I stacked up the cut sausage it was nearly half of one. The place is dirty. The bathroom is disgusting. Give it a miss.
