Really lovely food. Great veggie and vegan selection too. Great service. Only downstairs is it's quite loud inside so not always easy to hear.

Such a hidden gem of a place, a cafe that exists alongside a pilates and yoga studio that doesn't mind if you are or aren't a yogi. The food is amazing. The avocado or gravalax open sandwiches are delicious, I've had amazing soups with chunks of sourdough, Greek salad, or the Greek pie I won't try to spell (the one with spinach and feta). All served by lovely, friendly staff. The coffee is fab if you just want that, too. Try it, you won't be disappointed. Oh, and have a dessert too.

Was recommended this cafe locally and it was a brilliant choice for a spot of lunch. I had the avocado egg on toast with an organic cola and was very impressed. The presentation, quality and taste were superb. The gentlemen working were friendly and helpful! I would definately visit again and highly recommend.

Excellent food and drinks and a very nice nice owner providing excellent customer service. I have been a few times and never had a bad meal. The coffee and smoothies are excellent and there is a wide range to choose from. Definitely worth the walk up the hill, even on a hot day.

Nice small cafe. Modern menu and nice coffee. It’s not really accessible as there are steps / stairs up to the door. The staff are friendly and helpful.
