   Stopped in here to do a little work away from the office. Atmosphere was good and I liked that there was an area at the back that was tucked away for some privacy while working. The coffee and service was wonderful.

   Gone downhill since change of ownership.Basing my rating on the food because thats why you go to a cafe. Used to be our favorite spot but the refresh in decor doesn't make up for the decrease in food quality. A toastie that is not even crisped, more like warm bread and barely any cheese. I had to check if there was any! Ice coffee overloaded with ice and not even full. Chips were average with no seasoning. Prices have gone up , the quality down. Disappointed

   What's more upsetting than paying for our breakfast, is that I wasted a gift voucher on eating here. Very pricey so I just ordered a ham and cheese croissant from the cabinet. Not sure how long it had been sitting there waiting for some unsuspecting fool, aka me, to come along and buy it. The cheese was so hard I could tap my plate with it. No sure the photo does it justice. My husband ordered his usual eggs Benedict and my word, an unbuttered English muffin split in two with a poached egg on each. Token green leaves and a squirt of some or other sauce, presumably hollandaise. Adding the bacon took the price to $26!! A flat white and an English breakfast tea took the bill to $47. If you had to look up rip off in the dictionary it would have Esquires listed. Did not enjoy it at all

   Lovely Spot, But Service and Pricing Could Use Improvement I recently visited this charming spot for breakfast with a group of five. While the atmosphere was lovely and the overall vibe was warm and inviting, there were a few aspects of the experience that left me disappointed. First, the service was quite slow. Despite the restaurant not being overly busy, it took around 45 to 55 minutes for our food to arrive. We had hoped that our coffee and drinks would be served promptly, ideally before our meals, but unfortunately, they were brought out after the food was already on the table. This seemed a bit off, especially when dining out for breakfast, when people usually expect their drinks to arrive before or alongside the meal. As for the food, I was particularly underwhelmed by the price. I ordered a dish that cost $27.80, and while it was tasty, the quality and portion size felt more in line with a $15 meal. It seemed overpriced for what was essentially a simple, basic breakfast. While I understand that prices at some restaurants reflect the quality of ingredients or location, the dish didn’t seem to justify such a high price tag. Despite this, I’m willing to give the restaurant another try. The French toast with bacon and banana, which I saw on the menu, looked absolutely delicious and might be worth a second visit to explore other options. This could be a truly fantastic spot for breakfast.

   The eggs Benny and the omelette were great. Definitely recommend this cafe for breakfast. The berry smoothie and iced chocolate were 10/10 too!
