Amazing Bakery, loved the Paprika inspired Bagel. The vanilla/Jam croissant was really good. Flat White and Cortado coffee were great as well. They have many types of Loaves to purchase.

Absolutely amazing!! We had the cottage cheese with apricots pastry and almond raspberry pastry with cappuccinos. We sat outside and lovely. We did get approached by an older lady looking for food. Quite sad, she did move on quickly. Otherwise highly recommend!!

Very beautiful and clean area! I am not going to give less than 4 stars but The Latte that we got wasn't hot at all! It was totally cold! Maybe next time I have to ask them for HOT! The sandwich was good but for this price I think there was only cheese and almost no chicken inside! They brought our Latte first and then our sandwiches! So we couldn't even take one photo from our table with all everything on it at once😃 But in general I enjoyed and I am giving 4 stars but I won't come back for this price and cold Latte😬

It definitely looks better than it tastes. It wasn’t bad by any means, but the flavour was lacking despite all the pistachios. Maybe because of the quality of the pistachios? Felt like a chain bakery, so it might be due to ingredient quality. I also tried the Himalayan black tea, which was very nice. But they have a weird payment and table system so my tea arrived 10 min later when I finished my pastry..
