Really nice food. A bit pricey and some items a bit spicy but worth it overall. Old style seating could do with some cushions. Quite a few vegan and gluten free options.

They have an actual gluten free fryer! My Coeliac son can have hot chips. :)

I'm am absolutely appalled with the service here, I'm Coeliac and was not made aware of the extra charge, for my gluten bread when asked why I was charged 22 instead of 20 dollars for my Scrambled eggs with added on bacon for 4 dollars that comes to 22 dollars The Lady said that it was a extra dollar for gluten-free bread. So I was still overcharged its not my choice at all to be gluten free yet I'm being charged extra costs to basically live. Won't be returning. Un reliable staff.

The cafe itself is a little dark but the view from the outside terrace more than makes up for this. The gluten free carrot cake was excellent and one of the few places I've seen have that option recently.
