    First and foremost if you are going to visit anywhere near lunchtime book, we went on Tuesday thinking it might be less busy but we were so wrong. The detail in the decor itself is amazing, the staff dressed in keeping with the funky vibe that the place exuded. The menu choices were varied and the hot cakes were a big hit, I was a little disappointed with the fish finger sandwich, the fish itself was delightful and tasty however the bread was average and let it down in my opinion. However the main event was the coffee and the various choices on offer only made any decisions difficult but we were not disappointed at all everyone at our table thought they were amazing. Would I come back again ? In a heartbeat !

    Dear David, Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're glad you enjoyed the unique decor, vibrant atmosphere, and our team’s attention to detail. It’s great to hear the hotcakes and coffee were a hit, though we appreciate your feedback on the fish finger sandwich—we’ll take that into consideration. We love that you’d return "in a heartbeat," and we look forward to welcoming you back for another great visit! - Nagi (The Grounds)
