My husband frequently visits this cafe for breakfast, and I join him whenever I have a day off. The menu offers a variety of delicious options, from classic salads to burgers and pasta. Their beverages are equally delightful, ranging from refreshing smoothies to rich coffee. Today is particularly special because we sampled their new carbonara, featuring a red sauce made from FRESH tomatoes. The flavour is outstanding. I strongly recommend this place.

Came in today and ordered french toast and halloumi burger which were both smashing! Not too greasy and just heavenly! Nothing to fault! Also ordered some latte, hot choco for my husband, and guess what? Finished off with affogato! They have affogato my friends and I definitely would stay up for another century LOL. Kidding aside, portions were amazing and just overall fantastic with great friendly staff and instagram worthy atmosphere will definitely go back

What a wonderful hidden gem in Dundonald! We have passed this many times & finally I was able to visit it, such a lovely place... When you walk in you notice the place is spotless, the smell of food hits you & you can tell this will be a good rating experience. The staff are friendly, patient & helpful, they are attentive & I felt welcomed. The menu is amazing, with plenty of options to cater for everybody. There is also a special menu board with soup of the day (I really want to try the chicken egg drop soup). The food didn't take long to arrive & it was cooked to perfection, everything about it was lovely... It was hot, tasty & wanted me wanting more. I can wholly recommend this place to anybody looking for good food. We will be going back soon.
