We pre booked a table here for my friends baby shower and Anca was amazing from the beginning. On the day we were able to bring along some decorations and bits and pieces to make the table nice. The food was… AMAZING and service just as good. We all had different savoury from Croques, Crepes and salads and then we all had a cheeky sweet crepe and they were delicious. I had a gluten free crepe and it was just as soft and delicious as the regular ones around me. We will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu!

This is a gorgeous little place where we went for afternoon tea, and it was fantastic. The food was so good and nothing like weve quite had before at an afternoon tea, and the chef and waitresses were super accommodating with me being dairy free, even making me alternate things to the usual menu. Absolutely wonderful place with fantastic food, will definitely be going back!
