    Outside sidewalk seating catches the morning sun, offering an ideal setting to ease into the day or catch up over brunch.

  • Shakshuka

    Dishes such as the shakshouka hint at a Middle Eastern influence, while several vegan and vegetarian options ensure no one misses out.

  • Chilli Eggs

    Highly recommend the chilli eggs for something savoury or the ricotta pancakes for something sweet.

    Minnie Allen

  • Ricotta Pancakes

    The ricotta pancakes were light & not overly sweet with a berry compote, ricotta & fresh seasonal fruit (I added Nutella!)
