Me and my friends stopped by this lovely restaurant for lunch and it was absolutely amazing. The guy who served was so polite and the environment was so friendly. Cute interior giving out retro vibes.The food was in hearty portions and the cappuccino was out of my expectation! The froth was perfect and airy with the chocolate powder dusted evenly on top. I highly recommend this place if you want something simple but delicious.

I'd been pestered for weeks by my son to take him here so I took my daughter this morning. I'd had an ECG at the doctor's earlier, so the timing felt apposite.We opted for the Solo Special which was quite excellent. Properly cooked black pudding rather than the cremated blood patty I've been given elsewhere in Canterbury. The eggs, bacon and mushroom were all cooked to perfection.The table was spotless and the staff were courteous and polite. Parking available too!A great experience, as was the ECG test earlier on.
