"We popped in for Sunday brunch. This is our second time here. The staff is very friendly and accommodating! And the food is great with amazing prices. I was craving for pancakes and the staff went out of their way to make it for me, even though they didn’t have it in the menu. Will be visiting often."

"Have been going here for years. Friendly staff, consistent food. The menu is the same as when it was the Early Cafe. It is a shame that the cooking area is not large enough to accommodate English dishes like cottage pie."

"I’ve been coming here for years, the old management/owner provided an excellent service to a hungry fellow. Now under new ownership and run with the same fantastic level of service, variety, care and consideration. I anticipate great things moving forward, the level of service exceeds that which I’ve found in other establishments around the country and the value for money un matched."
