Ankur BanerjeeMay 17, 2015Busy for brunch especially on the weekends. Thankfully, it takes advance bookings on OpenTable even for smaller parties of 2+. Save Get the fermented cola, save space for the cookies and milk dessert!
Excellent pastries, coffee and food. All fresh and delicious! However service let's this place down, especially at lunch time. Staff is not always polite.
Ning YeOctober 19, 2014Good brunch! The scrambled eggs, smoked salmon and croissant is very tasty. Try cookies & milk also, I especially liked that they use dark chocolate in the cookies.

Danny VAugust 3, 2018Great breads! All the main items come with a bread pairing. Nice atmosphere. Decent coffee.
Julian SimsNovember 20, 2015Came for breakfast. The coffee is ok. Wifi didn't work in the bakery, the toast is nice. The staff are friendly and the service good. £5 for coffee & toast: a bit overpriced compared to places nearby
Bub ChinpilasJanuary 31, 2014Amazing food and at the price they offer is a bargain. Get the pork belly and burrata!- Amanda GravgaardAugust 12, 2014The food is AMAZING! Incredibly delicious, interesting dishes for people who want to dine differently.
Justin GoringAugust 3, 2014For an alternative Sunday brunch it's worth a try. I'd suggest buying one dish with a few sides and share.
Nadeem DurraniJanuary 11, 2020Excellent experience. A bit of music would add a flare to the ambience
Polly WnzFebruary 9, 2014I would not eat for a week in order to try everything on this menu in one sitting. Delicious.
Sarah SpillipsFebruary 20, 2015the 12 minute cook cookies are to die for. advising you book in advance.
Hessao_January 19, 2015A blogger posted a good picture of their cookies & milk, unfortunately it wasn't special at all! I ended up having a chai latte and it was good.
- SandrineFebruary 14, 2015Very tasty food for lunch time, original combinations, but rather small dishes.
M AmourJuly 24, 2016Service was crap BUT breakfast was well worth...eggs done almost anyway you want...
Mike WilliamsMarch 20, 2014Great coffee, but epic fail on service today. No spoons, unorganized. But great coffee and salads.
Gary S.January 27, 2018Very unimpressed that they only serve disposable everything here (plates, cups, napkins, etc). ♻️🌍
Preemal PatelSeptember 29, 2019Atrocious service, forgot to bring out our croissant, spilt tea and hot chocolate everywhere and plagued the resident wasp. 4/10. Sorry.
Marta GranéMay 18, 2014Nice brunch! Lovely cornbread avocado, although salmon croissant not really special... A but overpriced! Not the best place in town.
Eddie CDecember 22, 2015Dreadful continental breakfast (compliments of the hotel) - coffee was a shocker and nothing we could eat (never asked for our dietary requirements). Shame because other food looks ok and nice place.
Ryan TaylorJuly 5, 2017Surprised at the unwillingness to serve coffee how I wanted it. Almost aggressive. Weird. Maybe that's what they mean by Artisan.
