    Try the paella. Spicy chorizo, shrimp and an egg over orso. Do you have room for waffle?

    The lavender latte is a must try. I was underwhelmed by the waffle (I've had better) but the brunch is delicious!

    If you're getting the waffles (which you should), go with the chocolate lavender or white chocolate pistachio rosewater toppings. Or both.

    If its cold outside, be prepared to be cold inside as oblivious patrons frequently get updates on their position in line whilst holding the door open.

    Arrogant front desk staff, food is okay now, few years ago everything was much better. They couldn’t keep up to the quality in service and food they initially offered

    It's a Monday morning (10:30am) yet the service is slow. I'd finished the waffle they'd brought by the time my coffee arrived and ate ate, real slow, just like the service...
