Small Café, big hearts. Simply beautiful, this is how I would describe my experience at this café. Wonderful breakfast, at a great price, presented very cleanly and incredibly delicious. What's not to like. Thank you, you're doing a fantastic job.

We had some time to kill on a very grey Sunday morning before the under 8's footy nearby. One of the football parents had recommended the cafe and I brought my son and his friend in. I don't often write reviews but we were really taken by this little gem of a cafe. Really friendly staff and very reasonably priced food. The little ones had the kid's breakfast and I had the veggie burger. We all loved our food and I loved that I had change from a tenner! Do support local businesses like this, it was good to see that trade was brisk and we will be back when we next face South Leeds in the football

First time getting a breakfast from here. Highly recommend and will be using again. Freshly cooked large portion size. Value for money. Waited an hour and not arrived. Rang shop and there was a mix up with delivery address. Arrived 10 mins later, well worth the wait.

The sandwiches were delicious, and would also like to thank the delivery driver who went above and beyond to bring the sandwiches all the way upstairs and to our desks. From the premier waste girls :) x

Lovely food, great vfm, get sandwiches and breakfasts regularly. Decided to try their delivery service only to be told they're too busy to deliver 3 mile on a weekend. Pity,a nice order of 9 large sandwiches went to another establishment
