This place. Where do I start.. would not recommend, unless the staff (in particular one man!) and the general service (and food) improves, big time.Firstly, our order came out wrong - that is completely okay, mistakes happen - but after my cousin explained a severe nut allergy I thought they might have been more careful.The guy serving was so so rude - my second time in there, and the same thing - impatient with us looking at the menu, told us to get our own salt /pepper/ butter (should these not be on the table already?) Funnily, I have heard him also discussed with other friends who have stopped going there for these reasons.Also, butter in the petrol station / hotel tin foil packets...lads come on. I think if you are paying 15 pounds for some mushrooms on toast, a nicer presentation wouldn't go astray.Great coffee, if I can say anything positive.Vegetarian options: n/a

Amazing service, servers are very nice, amazing atmosphere, keep pretty busy during lunch time but worth it. I recommend coconut cake with a filling of raspberry, with personally for me a bit to much sugary whipped cream on top but good. Also the tea came in avocado very nice tea pot, which you can ask for hot water refill.I recommend in general !!!!

I saw many people recommending this brunch restaurant on the Internet, so I came here to try it. I ordered French toast and Belfast brunch tea. The French toast tastes like ordinary French toast, but the size is smaller than the picture on the Internet, and the white strings on it taste a bit like dragon whiskers. The tea is just ordinary black tea, nothing special. The total cost was £15.80, which I think is a bit expensive for such food. Not worth to visit again.

Went here for me lunch. I had the following items:Southern style chicken and waffle (£13.60): Big portion!! Came with empty stomach, home feeling very full! Chicken was tender, moist. Instead of waffle, I got myself a very thick bread loaf. Served with egg on top, with pickled red onion, and this sauce which is very flavorful. Will I order this again? 100%! 9/10Fresh apple juice (£2.70): taste nice, like any other apple juice really. Portion-wise it's enough. 7.5/10They also have other menus like coffee and cakes. Since it was quite a lunch I had (plus I don't drink coffee), decided to skip both of them but will definitely come back here again to try them out.Atmosphere: very small, intimate, homey as well. Lots of decoration, plants, even a deer head and a disco ball which I love.I came on weekday so a wee bit spacious but everytime I walked past through on weekends, saw quite a line as there were limited seating space.Staff that day were very friendly, quick service as well.All in all, must visit!

Visited during the weekend and had to queue for 30-45 mins but so worth it. The servers were lovely, and the food was perfect. Ordered both sweet and savoury brunch options and would recommend! The French Toast was a highlight ?

Worth the 30 minute wait! Food was delicious and the atmosphere was calm. Exactly what we needed after a good night out.
