Diners often come back for the soufflé pancakes and desserts, which many call fluffy and memorable. Coffee gets fair marks, and the pet-friendly outdoor seating draws regulars. Mains get mixed reactions, with some dishes praised as tasty and others called too salty or oily. Service and hygiene are the weak spots. A few guests report a rude moment at checkout or during a late dine-in request. One reviewer found a bed bug on a sofa and another reported a staff member vaping in the customer toilet.

Diners describe steady food and warm service across many visits. The roast chicken, pasta, crepes and desserts come up often. Many reviewers call the staff friendly, quick to help, and willing to fix problems. Reviewers also mention a cosy, homely feel with a pet-friendly outdoor area. Weekend parking can be tough, and the room gets loud at lunch. Set meals are affordable, and one reviewer found the wait fine on a quiet weeknight.

Reviewers keep returning to the calm mood and the black cat that roams the room. Many call it a cozy spot for a long sit with coffee. Drinks like the honey and sea salt espresso and the Not Beer stand out. Service gets mixed marks. One guest waited an hour for a Danish toast without being told, and another found staff disinterested. The entrance is above a tattoo shop, so first-timers often struggle to find it.
