Heard about this place from colleague who heard about it from another colleague. The place was a little hard to find inside an industrial estate. We went on a Saturday morning when I guess the estate is shut down which would be why it wasn't busy.I had the mega set 2 and my mate the mega set 1, both come with tea and toast, both are massive and for 6.20 each they were worth it. Staff were friendly enough and it was sunny and warm so sat outside. I will definitely be returning to this place.

I came here recently and was served by a very beautiful and kind server, Melisa. She recommended a great meal for me that tasted like the best thing I have ever put inside my mouth. I will come back for breakfast, lunch and dinner for the rest of my life. Melisa will be my dessert

10/10 and I am fussy when it comes to cafe food as I find most cafes don’t cook their food Throughly. The food was absolutely perfect couldn’t fault it one bit. Price is reasonable, some may even say the prices are within budget. The lady who took my order came Out of her way to ask me about how I want my eggs and meat, you don’t get this service anywhere else. I’m excited to go back next time I am on the barking road. Definitely would recommend this place
