Studies show that skipping breakfast hurts its feelings, often causing it to retaliate with soggy waffles, empty milk gallons, and eggs filled with marmalade.

Reviews

Citysearchers and Yelpers give the restaurant an average of four stars. Nine TripAdvisors give it an average of 4.5 owl eyes:

• This haunt is a real gem for all breakfast mavens. All dishes came steaming hot, plates were lavishly piled, and our breakfast was served with wholemeal bread, butter and jam alongside. The atmosphere and setting invited to relax and to hang out for a long time. Staff was very kind and attentive. I would highly recommend this spot for extensive and cozy weekend breakfasts. – doll83, Citysearch
