Service here makes a difference, super attentive without being over the top. The French toast was soft, slightly caramelised and really satisfying.
The decor gives it a really cozy, slightly hidden vibe. The mushroom risotto was creamy and rich without feeling too heavy, great comfort food.
I tried the smashed avocado on sourdough with poached eggs and it was fresh and nicely done. Definitely a spot I’d come back to for a casual brunch. A bit pricey though.
Loved the setting surrounded by bookshelves. The slow cooked beef cheek pappardelle was rich and comforting, and it’s the kind of place you can easily spend hours in.
Great visit! Lovely atmosphere. Would definitely go again in the future.
Quandoo is closing down. This is a planned, phased process and our platform remains available until 30 September 2026.
Amazing seven spice chai tea. Excellent food. Friendly service. Cosy atmosphere
Nice little cafe. Seating a bit cramped. Toasted sandwich was OK but maybe serve with some sauce as a bit dry.
1) Pleasant staff. 2) I prebooked but no table was reserved. 3) They had run out of the dish I wanted. 4) As it was a hot day, the cellar was lovely and cool. 5) The food was tasty but nothing to write home about - poached eggs are supposed to be runny, not hard boiled.
Not very accessible friendly for wheelchairs or wheelie walkers actually.
Nice cafe to enjoy. A lot of books and delicious food.
A little disappointed if I'm honest. Crazy expensive, and I hoped to be inside with all the books, but that room downstairs had no one.
They never reserved out table and the food wasn’t good. Got the Bircher and the fruit tasted like onion.
Excellent venue for book nerd; welcoming ambience;very laid back; no rush from management to move on even though we stayed for 3 hours; good food and great books; hit recommend.
Lovely books make sure you go upstairs after your meal and check out downstairs too
The ambience was great but the food was just average. The seven spice chai was a bit weak and the bagel wasn't New York style.
