Beautiful, small indie café, quirky interior full of art with tables that are shared amongst customers. Owner was super friendly and chatted happily with the customers who were a mix of regular locals and tourists (like me!) as she took orders and made the food. I had the Turkish eggs which were out of this world! Perfectly poached eggs, homemade flat breads and the right amount of spices to wake you up and get rid of any lingering hangovers I also took a cake to takeaway which was Such an amazing array of cakes that you can tell have been made with a real passion for baking. Deffo worth a visit if you are nearby, just gutted I didn't find this place earlier into my stay

The food was great. The menu is relatively small, but with plenty of variety in both unusual and classic offerings. Both dishes provided an excellent combination of quality ingredients for a satisfying meal (decent portions, too). It's not cheap, but worth the price. The drinks were nice as well - good coffee. Also, friendly and helpful staff.
