"Hard to put into words how delicious the pizzas are here. The fresh vegetables, the crust - truly amazing. I would travel across London, maybe even further, to just take another bite of their spicy chicken pizza. Not to mention the staff were incredibly kind. Do not skip on this place."

"The best local cafe around. The pastries, especially the croissants, are the nicest I've had in years and the cakes are delicious. It's definitely not a hipster coffee shop and instead has a unique welcoming feel."
