"Incredibly lovely and they have amazing food! Highly recommend the garlic prawn pasta!"
"What we got bore absolutely no resemblance to the photos provided on the app. The French toast was nice, but had bananas instead of blueberries, and was only one slice, as opposed to the three slices shown stacked in the photo. We ordered the cheese toasty and ticked the boxes to have bacon and avocado added, which were provided in a separate box rather than being placed on the sandwich. The sandwich itself also didn't resemble what was pictured and consisted of three dry and very stale slices of bread, barely toasted, with just enough cheese added to stick the slices together, meaning we couldn't open it to put the bacon and avocado inside, where it should have been to begin with. The bread was so stale we couldn't chew the crust Coffee was good."

"Cons: the packaging isn't the best. My wraps were packed upside down and slid out instantly. thankfully into another bag. Pros: everything tasted great and was fresh with a great portion size. Gourmet Brekkie Wrap tasted great and whatever sauce they used wentvery well. Ham & Cheese Croissant was nice, could've been toasted longer so it was crunchy, but allin all was still nice. Iced Coffee was ok. very bitter to start with but less so as the ice melted."
"The Chicken Avocado Wrap left a lot to be desired. the chicken was sloppy and the wrap itself was tiny. Won't bother buying again. Nutella Brownie was nice enough."
