A real gem of a cafe in Highams Park. Best proper hot chocolate and french toast around. It is such a warm welcome space for families, and the owner is so so lovely. Thanks for a fabulous brunch!

Delicious food with unusual serves, kind service and ambience. Definitely recommended! Surprisingly, the toilets don't get the same care, as I have noticed more than once that toilet seat and mirror are dirty.

Lovely little cafe with a cozy garden. The food they offer is great, with a few good vegan options. I tried the tofu bowl (vegan) and it was really tasty, and my partner had mushrooms and greens on toast. Probably the best vegan options in the area.

I've been coming here for many years, have their, Scrambled eggs with Sourdough toast, which I have to say is the best I've ever tried. Tea is piping hot just the way I like it. Service is great always with a smile
