"I have wanted to visit this cafe for a while so popped in for a light bite. My falafel Buddha bowl salad was reasonable; red onion, peppers, beetroot, diced tomatoes and cucumber with a very tasty hummus. Falafel was good. But overall it was somewhat plain, unexciting. No roasted seasonal veg or herby dressing which would have enhanced the flavour either. It just lacked wow factor. My daughter’s bagel seemed rather processed- lots of fake meat and no healthy salad. Disappointing. The cafe is quaint but often very busy, chaotic and loud. The owner was rushed off her feet, staff super pressured so it just wasn’t easy to relax. The tables are squashed together, and they spent time moving furniture around to accommodate customers which I felt was a little invasive when there is limited personal space. I’m vegetarian but try to eat mostly a plant based diet overall. I just didn’t feel the food was particularly flavoursome or had much of a health focus. I ordered a Japanese cherry tea which never turned up. The coffee was tepid and tasted only of soya with no deep coffee flavour. They were just too busy, I could see. The staff were friendly, it’s a pleasant little place, but I’m not sure I would return.. I think it would be better at a quieter time for coffee and cake."
