Excellent food and service!… Lovely cafe, perfect for lunch. Waitress was very friendly… We come here every week. The food is good and the price isn’t expensive… This is is the restaurant to visit if you you want a large typical full english breakfast… Great little restaurant/cafe, as always a plentiful meal and very reasonably priced… A small friendly cafe with great choice of food, the portions was very generous, prices was reasonable… The service was excellent, the food too with good portions and very tasty…

Best capaccino & latte in Victoria. Went there once, loved it. Went back a few days later and the wonderful girl behind the bar remembered our order. The best chocolate croissants! Came back 1 year later & Lidia is still working there. She is the Best! Cappuccino & Chocolate croissants are still Great! The best!
