Nice coffee. Breakfast menu has all the usuals, portions on the small side. Tea-room feel with the vintage location, right on the park. Really nice spot.

We visited as a family group on a busy Sunday morning, the last day of school holidays. We managed to find a table without booking even though it was very busy, lots of groups, mostly mixed with adults and kids. The food took a little while to arrive but then no surprises because it was very busy. The quality was very nice to ok slightly varied but certainly great value for the price which is reasonable and moderate.
