What recent reviewers mention most:
Pricey
Food is overpriced, staff never ever smiled at me or my kids, very serious and unfriendly all the times I've been there.
Used to come in for milkshakes, even that is not good anymore, tastes now like iced milk with sugar.
Place is in a nice location, pity they don't know how to be welcoming and friendly.
Triple Decker my favorite sandwich 🥪 😋
Great coffee, Great smoothies!!
This place is convenient with outside sitting and its location too. However I was charged €2.50 for two slices of toast, which in my opinion, is disgraceful! Any other restaurant that I have been to, offers scrambled egg as a breakfast option with toast and coffee. It's pure greed to charge more for two slices of toast that you'd pay for a slice pan, maybe 3 pans when it comes to cost price for restaurants.
Very expensive.
