Dining Experience
During my visit, I enjoyed a Smoked Salmon Omelet paired with sourdough toast. The omelet, made with spinach and feta cheese, was flavorful and well-prepared.
The toast, though tasty, could have benefited from more butter. The coffee was smooth and rich, complementing the meal perfectly.
The café was not too busy, and the seat-yourself policy made the experience feel even more laid-back.
