Natalia • November 15, 2018Delicious brunch, fantastic coffee, great atmosphere (the last one only when there is not to many people, otherwise very chaotic on weekends) bets days to go Monday - Thursday before noon

Santi Z. • January 30, 2017The pizza dough is unreal, the best ever! Such an amazing pizza for such a low price. It does get quite rowdy however so don't expect a lovely relaxed and quiet dinner time. Would 100% recommend!

Chris R. • September 25, 2020They had nice growlers during lockdown

Ramona A. • February 11, 2020Mint, lime and honey tea was literally just two slices of lime in a teapot with hot water for £3. Dirty plates aren’t cleared for hours (when quiet) and staff are kinda rude.

Agnieszka K. • June 15, 2017I love veggie spring rolls with peanut sauce and soups with mushrooms :)
