Absolutely fantastic experience, can't fault a single thing. Amazing food, good price for the quality, good portion sizes, and really friendly staff. I will definitely return to try other things!

Disappointing experience. Compared with other places in Leicester this is pricey, so we were hoping for excellent food. I had the half breakfast, was not expecting even the black pudding to be chopped in half. It was an end piece too, rubbery and chewy. Overall very unimpressed.Other people in the party didn't enjoy their food either; cold food, slow to arrive, and we left hungry.The waitress was polite and kind and we couldn't fault her but overall I don't think we will return.Edit: to the owner response - I agree, that's why it was even more disappointing. No-one in our group of 7 enjoyed their food or the overall experience. We regularly meet for brunch in Leicester and so have experienced cafes all over the town so I hope you will take on board the review rather than brushing it off.

My second visit, this time had full english breakfast. An attractive independent venue in town centre.

Visited today with my sister for a late lunch. We really enjoyed it, could have stayed all afternoon. Interesting choice of music, lovely food. My new favourite place!

This place is an amazing find. What a treat to see a local arty style cafe. The decor is beautiful and you can even buy the art too! The staff was super friendly which for me being disabled and having a dog was essential that we felt welcome. Dog got a lovely bowl of water and se bacon too. I ordere some light snacks all came out fast, excellent presentation and super yummy. The cafe has many types of nights and deals I would make this a regular hang out spot if I lived locally.

Really good experience of Really genial service staff, first class food, zen ambience, clean and comfortable seating and table, smooth eclectic music, boutique surroundings, suitable pricing. Very much a repeatable interlude.

What a hidden Gem! Tucked away behind the hustle and bustle of the Highcross shopping centre is this charming bistro filled with beautiful artwork, soulful music and the aroma of delicious food. My wife is vegetarian and we struggle to find somewhere special to eat that can accommodate both of our needs without a 'token' vegan or vegetarian option. This was most definitely not the case here as the choices were as endless as they were delicious. Staff were friendly and accommodating and the chef even found time to come and ask if we were enjoying our meal. Not just a fantastic meal but a delightful experience. Very highly recommended!

I enjoyed everything about this place. The food was amazing, the atmosphere is lovely, and all of the staff are really friendly. For the quality of food, the pricing is really reasonable. I often find when I order pancakes at a place they taste heavy on the use of bicarb but these were perfect. Very filling! I will definitely be returning, there's so much I want to try.I also really like that all of the art work on the walls are from local artists and available for sale.
