I visited today by chance without knowing anything about the establishment. The venue is located near numerous medical facilities and is handy for a coffee or meal before an appointment. I ordered quickly from pleasant staff. I enjoyed my meal in the Al fresco area on a nice table well spaced from others. I enjoyed my meal and coffee which was delivered quickly. I certainly recommend it to others in the area and I will likely return again too.

Convenient Cafe to catch up with friends. Also while waiting for hospital or to attend specialist appointments in this area. Food, service, atmosphere & locality is awesome.
