Good Coffee, Friendly Service

I thoroughly enjoyed the coffee they served here and it's reasonably priced. It had good depth of flavour and minimal bitterness. Staff were friendly and they use Campos coffee beans. The only pigeon I spotted was on the wall carved out of fake grass which is really cool. The only unfortunate thing is during the later afternoon it doesn't seem enjoy the sunshine as much as Lumiére across the courtyard.

Cappucino $3

I chose the ash's style eggs to try but I think I preferred the eggs benedict. The hollandaise sauce was really nice and wasn't as heavy as I thought it might be. The eggs were plump and runny on the inside and complimented the ham and spinach very well.

Eggs benedict, poached eggs on sourdough, spinach & hollandaise served with ham $13.00
