    Slightly on the expensive side given the other options nearby but nonetheless a tasty brunch with solid coffee.

    They've revamped the lunch menu with a focus on far and affordable sandwiches and salads to take away. Really good.

    Nice new place. Great coffee (Ozone) and food. Could be a bit more cozy but I guess this will change with time.

    Part of that trendy wave of really sour coffees which I just don't like. If you like it, it might be amazing.

    I loved it. They also have outside seating so the place is ideal for brunch in the sun.

    Overrated- they seem to care more about their social profile than the quality of their food and service. Coffee took 15 mins to arrive, portion size is small and mushroom/egg/toast dish lacks flavor.
