It was one of the most delicious breakfasts I've ever had. I spotted this establishment on Google Maps, & my choice was spot on. They began with a refreshing & tasty smoothie as a complimentary treat, followed by an incredible plate & a delectable Croque Madame. The highlight of the meal was the delicious coffee. I highly recommend it to everyone!

Food was delicious, service was very very slow. The waiter was quick to take our order but did not come back once to check on food/drinks, we had to call out to him for a refill of water after having waited 10+ minutes & him walking by multiple times. Once we were done & the plates were taken away it took another 20+ minutes for him to bring the bill. Overall, what should have been a quick 30-40 minute breakfast took well over 70 minutes due to the waiter.
