Let’s start with positives. Coffee - great 5/5 star 🌟 Service - great 5/5 star 🌟 Food - 2/5 star 🌟 Prices - 3/5 star 🌟 Apart from 1 other person I was the only person there at 11.30am on a Saturday. The place looked closed from the outside. Simple bacon and eggs really was just simply that. Nothing special and nothing more than I should have made at home. No seasoning on eggs, bacon tasted cheap, bread tasted like $1.20 bread from the supermarket. $25 for bacon and eggs and coffee is quite expensive in my opinion but it is what it is in this country at the moment. I definitely wouldn’t rave about my experience here and would’ve been better off to just just get a takeaway coffee and go home to make my own brunch.

A fantastic cafe we discovered in Palmy. Good coffee and the best eggs Benedict I have had in a while. Very cool decor with some interesting art. The staff were friendly and efficient. Right by the square in the city centre which is full of interesting sculpture. Recommended.

Their waffle was great! The fried chicken was crispy and yum.. Hmm the curly fries was pretty good too. But the waffle was the outstanding one here. I order Cookies and Cream thickshake and I got Vanilla instead. I wasn't paying attention that it had no crumbs and I already had a sip, so might as well just drank them to the half of the glass (I didn't finish it because I just didn't like the plain Vanilla flavour in general I guess). However, it was great overall. Could have been better if they made sure they got the order right. ^_^ I tried my bf's iced chocolate and that was definitely better than my drink. :( definitely get the iced chocolate next time!
Food very average although cabinet cakes were good. Coffee was burnt and arrived almost cold. Menu's were sticky and looked dirty. We had to ask for cutlery after our order arrived and the kitchen looked unorganised. Staff were not friendly and seemed unhappy. Wouldn't recommend going here when there are so many other choices. They did have some GF options though.
We were sitting outside having a lovely morning coffee with great friendly service & enjoying a nice relaxing start to our working day :) Could easily make this a regular Saturday thing...:) Service Dine in Meal type Other Price per person $1–10 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

Awesome cute local cafe. It was open earlier than others which suited us well to catch up before heading to the airport. We had eggs Benedict and it was superb. I would definitely eat here in the future again Service Dine in Meal type Breakfast Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Eggs Benedict

Place might be a bit rundown for a cafe but it gives old town vibes which makes sense in Palmy. Other than that, they have the best coffee and some pretty good food. A bit expensive for me but it's reasonable considering how pricey groceries are.

Went here last night and the staff was very accommodating even though I was there very late. Had the Fillet Mignon which was exquisite. I will recommend it. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4
