the review

——— ordered a breakfast, it was well cooked but using the cheapest ingredients going. ——— most of it, the sausages takes synthetic and the hash browns smelt like the fryer hadnt had the oil changed in a long while so i didnt even try them. I also ordered a flat white, its fair to say this isn't a trained barrista cafe. It looked and tasted like a cup of mellow birds instant coffee. The cafe was also freezing, everyone in there had their coats on and all the radiatiors were off, just two heaters placed around the cafe which weren't doing much good in late December. Real shame because the staff were absolutely lovely, the location is great and it could be such a great little cafe.

what we would have written

The staff kind words are genuinely appreciated — it matters that they came through even on a visit that didn't go well otherwise. On the breakfast, ingredient quality sits at the centre of what a plate should be, and the flat white is a drink we take seriously; it should be properly extracted and textured, not approximate. The temperature point is noted too.
