Staff are friendly and polite. Coffee hands down is always soo nice and great quality. I go here every morning before work and I have not yet had one bad coffee.
We come here every Saturday morning for breakfast for the great food, friendly service and atmosphere. Their food is great value (we can spend half as much here compared to other cafes and still be satisfied). We both love the ham, cheese and tomato croissant with bechamel sauce. All their display food looks and tastes great. Off the menu we love the magic mushrooms and omelettes. Staff greet us with a smile always and remember what coffee we like.
Kevin, the owner of the restaurant leads this establishment is one of a kind. He is a leader, provides consistent disciplined food and more importantly always try’s his hardest with the customers.
As you know I am a omelette guru and this is the top of the tree. The salmon, tomato, chilli, mushrooms and spinach are all fresh and the omelette is as tasty as it gets.
The tea is brewed just the perfect amount of time and the lemon is as if it was picked off the tree.
I always love the restaurant, I go at least once a week and I strongly recommend you give this great establishment a go. A must try in the Malvern area.
Service was good and waiters were attentive.
Good menu and a nice Vibey place.
Has the granola. Was way too sweet, would definitely not get again. Coffee was slightly bitter.
Still a nice local, but would try something more savoury next time.
Pretty terrible. Soggy sourdough. Cold dry bacon. Just horrible! Won’t be back that’s for sure. Avoid this place. Definitely would not recommend.
The verdict:
Not for me
The low points I have allocated to this resto are largely due to the atmosphere. The moment I walked in the dor it was clear that there wasn’t a lot of room to swing a cat in this little joint. But I tried not to let this phase me; many small cafes have a cosy nice vibe. The problem here though a spatial design issue… on many levels:
1) the door swings open into the cafe and there are at least 5 people standing around because this is right near the florist-cum-bakery-cum-coffee-machine section where people are waiting for their takeaways to be handed to them. So there’s a congregation of people you have to push or otherwise manoeuvre past to get to your seat in this long narrow cafe.
2) There’s allocated seating (well, some others got to pick but we were allocated). This would not be a problem if they did not cram 4 groups of people closely together, so close I was nearly touching other people. I didn’t need to hear conversations about haircuts and whatever. I wanted to talk but whenever I did something the person on the table next to me looked at me with a grouchy look? Not the cafe’s problem but not a nice experience.
The food:
– salmon bagel, asked if I wanted it toasted. Yes I guess? I don’t want a cold bagel. Then I received a warm bagel but the avocado was warm which is a cardinal sin to me. They also warmed up the lettuce/greens inside. I felt sick when that happened and I did not enjoy the meal.
– coffee: pretty good. Would not want it without milk, though they did seem to have a lot of beans on offer, but it looked like they’d bitten off more than they could chew coffee-wise?
Everything and everyone looked frazzled and stressed here so it didn’t help my stress levels. Not a chill place. Don’t take a date here unless… you are into the group dynamic?
Very nice almond croissant! The main reason why I always go back to this place Waiters are quite attentative and the boss always tries to say hello to every customer. The sandwichs are better than average, but not as impressive as the croissants. The the omelettes could be very juicy and tender,but the quality of them is not that consistent.
On the downside, the coffee is just average, the place is a bit squeezy and the seats are not that comfortable.
Nevertheless, it’s the best cafe in Malvern as far as I concern.
