Good Lunch pit stop. They do an interesting take on the Chicken Caesar salad, with meaty garlic chicken breasts and a cucumber salad. Also recommended is the filled croissant with ham, mushroom and cheese. Accompanied by two teas the meal came to £10.50
Lovely welcoming. Open and clean. Comfy chairs. Food presented very well. I really enjoyed the pancakes. Sadly the sausages were not nice. Coffee very good. Cans and juice available. Hash browns very nice. Not all the food is quite fresh but majority is very good. Staff are pleasant and happy to help. Nothing was to much trouble. Served at the table. Has outside seating. We will visit again
Wow wow wow!!! I used to come here 20 years ago and I am so happy to see that they are still in business. Has anyone lasted this long in Kingston? The wraps are still divine! Highly recommend the chicken garlic wrap Wonderful staff, go and you will not be disappointed
Breakfast was nice it would have been perfect if my egg wasn’t Snotty and the sausages were better quality overall alright if your hungry and we didn’t wait long
After 25 years this place hasn't changed yet! Amazing food and service too! Hopefully, you guys come down to Leicester and open a business here! #Food #Service #Leicester #Business #Restaurant 10/10
Had breakfast here this morning (Saturday). Decent quality for a cafe. The service was friendly and allowed me to amend my order removing some bacon and adding an egg. Omelette was also tasty good. It’s not fine dining but it well priced for Kingston and tasted fine. Would go again
