“This is a really lovely little cafe which is often overshadowed by the buffet diner and the bar. It’s usually very quiet and I’ve never really been in when they’ve been seriously run off their feet. I think some placards on the street or some other kind of fun gimmick would be a great way to awaken the publics awareness of this cosy and comfy little cafe. After high prices and servitude snobbery at the Primadonna Palms Mall of Madness such affordable, appetizing and attractive food and aromatic and alluring coffee were a serendipitously surreal discovery. Lovely counter crew and a very chic modern and impeccably clean and inviting seating make this place a superb spot to sit and chin wag with friends or to catch up on the Press or a good read. I wish this place all the best. Oh and they don’t pull funny faces when people with picky tastes come in and ask for specific breads, spreads, sweetners etc. Nice to be treated as an equal and not subhumanly as I had been treated in some joints. Keep up the good work.”
