Desperate for coffee before London Open House talk at the Minster. This cafe was just in the right place. Nice coffee, nice friendly people. So good I returned for lunch later. They made up me a tasty sandwich exactly as I asked for. Reasonable prices. Good to sit in the window and watch the trams and people going by. Loo a bit basic but all the regulations in place.

Great food. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. I rarely used to eat eggs benidict but now i often do eat it. And they can replace the meat with spinach if you dont it. (Florentine) One of the few decent cafes in Croydon. Nice to have Magic FM playing in the background
