Such a great experience from start to finish! While the cafe is small, it is decorated beautifully and though it was full by the time we finished our meal, it didn’t feel cramped or crowded at all. The service was superb, and we received a congratulatory card for our celebration. The food was also delicious: the avocado toast and eggs florentine were the popular dishes - everyone else around us got the same thing. Great portion. We also got the tea/coffee/juice option, so we had no shortage of drinks. I personally think the breakfast is a great value over the afternoon tea - we were full until dinner time! Overall, any Tiffany’s lover will enjoy this cafe. Happy I finally got to experience it!

We made a booking on Monday evening, it wasn't busy at all, but the lovely guys explained that they just opened. We had fish & chips, which they also make gluten-free. Portions were very generous. We tried their delicious Ice cream (they customised it just for us so we could try more than one flavour, we loved it! Thanks guys!). Overall it was a great experience with quick service and delicious food.
