    I was really looking forward to visiting this place for breakfast/brunch, after seeing all the amazing reviews. It was nice, but I will say, it did feel like something is lacking, although it’s hard to say what. The food was good but for me personally there was only one item that I wanted to have for breakfast (I wanted something sweet, not eggs or a sandwich). The staff is OK, although maybe some of them can act slightly more pretentious than the place warrants. Prices are slightly higher than average and there is no outside seating. All in all, sadly it ended up as just OK in my books, even though I really wanted to love it.

    It was good enough for me to come back. Lot's of great options and excellent quality food. The Lecce inspired pastries (pasticciotto) are amazing and I really loved the focaccia royale. Service is excellent. Raj who served us was very attentive and accommodating. I'd happily come back for the third time and beyond.

    Booked online for weekend brunch, restaurant is not very busy but start to get busy after noon time, has both ground floor seating and more seating downstairs for larger group size. Bathroom is downstairs. Nicely designed cafe with bakery items and savoury brunch. Gluten free bread available to swap out on some options on the brunch menu. Also tried their dessert in pistachio and chocolate filling.
