I had homemade beans on sourdough with a side of 'bacon' mushrooms, while my husband had the scrambled... read more tofu with tomatoes also on sourdough. Portion sizes were generous and the food was so much better than many of cooked breakfasts you get when eating out, which are often just reheated supermarket products. The beans were in a lovely flavoursome sauce with onion, the mushrooms were delicious and smoky (definitely had that bacon flavour), and the tofu well flavoured and taken to the next level with the addition of sundried tomatoes. The sourdough was also good and had been lightly crisped with oil so it had a slight fried bread feel to it, which was really nice. We also really appreciated the cucumber infused water which was automatically supplied to the tables. It was a really nice touch and was very welcome on a hot day. Just a small gesture like this makes all the difference and shows good service before it has even begun!
The service was just as good as the food: attentive, friendly, warm and efficient. Really lovely staff, a real credit to the restaurant.
My only 'even better if' was that the handwash had run out in the toilet, and it was quite early in the day so maybe hadn't been checked on in a while, but that aside, if we lived nearer this would be a regular breakfast spot for us.

Amazing food. Loved the service, very pleasant. I’m not a vegetarian myself but loved the food. The only thing was the wood bamboo looking chairs (uncomfortable to sit and eat)... read more and heating seemed to be off, it felt cold. But lovely food.

Staff were friendly and helpful, service was quick and and the food was tasty.
The decor is stylish but as soon as I came inside I found the atmosphere quite... read more stressful - I did not enjoy having a mirror pointed right at me from above - would anyone? I think it is a very strange design choice. It was so distracting that I moved myself around to the side of the table. The music was slightly loud too, and it was very dark for lunchtime on a sunny day. I found it rather oppressive and overstimulating indoors. Immediately I wanted to sit outside but my friend was suffering with allergies, so we could not.
This is only my personal feeling re the mirrors and music, it may just be my sensitivities, of course, but perhaps the management can ask others how they feel? The mirrors may be putting other customers off as well. Otherwise, it is a lovely restaurant, I’m sorry that I cannot be wholeheartedly positive about it!
