Cute place and reasonably priced. Can't understand why this cafe/bar has been getting bad reviews, perhaps it has improved a lot recently.

I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. My boyfriend and I wandered in to be nearly knocked over by a seemingly stressed waitress (there were a handful of people in the place) which was just the start of the cold and unfriendly service we received. We took a seat upstairs, only to wait to be acknowledged by a waitress (serving only 2 tables) who passed us by without recognition at least four times. I was ready to leave but my boyfriend suggested we stay as we were both rather hungry. My boyfriend eventually go the girls attention and asked for a menu, she mutely handed us one and ran off. I caught her eye after 5 mins and we ordered, again she was mute and didn't even look at us when we ordered. The speed of the food was efficient but we were left without cutlery whilst she served someone else. I had to call across the room to ask for some. The english breakfast was cold, scramble eggs were powered eggs and toast was dry, there was a heap of greasy mushrooms and 3 tiny hash browns. I asked for butter which never arrived and she mixed up my tea with my boyfriends, which we didn't realise until i had put sugar in and then my boyfriend had to suffer an expensive £2.35 sugary tea. We didn't get approached by the waitress again and when we asked for the bil she just raised her eyebrows and left us standing like fools for a while. Then she ushered us downstairs, and asked what table we were at (if you have had the unfortuante chance of visiting here, you will realise that the place is tiny and she should not have had to ask) and put the bill through...with a gratuity charge! We asked for it to be removed and left without being asked how our meals or drinks were, absolutely disgusted at the most unpleasant place we have ever eaten at in London. Small business who are the first to suffer in todays climate need to provide good service, J,D Wetherspoon offer a hot breakfast at half the price with all condiments and staff with voices.
