There are some places where the focus seems to be more on the presentation of the food than the actual taste, and unfortunately, that was the case here. I ordered the bacon cheese kimchi butty and an egg Benedict, with a rosti on the side just to try. I was really disappointed by the rosti, it fell apart easily and was far too soft. I understand a good rosti should be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, but this one was barely holding together. For $4, I suppose it’s “worth a try,” but I had to force myself to finish it just to avoid wasting food. The choice of kimchi in the butty was also a very interesting one, in a bad way. I honestly think it was the worst kimchi I’ve ever had. The taste was really strange and just didn’t sit well with the rest of the dish.
When I arrived, I chose to sit indoors because it was very cold outside. The room temperature was warm and comfortable, but the space was quite loud with a lot of background noise. What surprised me more was that I sat there for a while without anyone noticing I had arrived, I felt invisible. Eventually, someone came over and asked if I wanted to start with a drink. I ordered a hot long black, and the staff member responded with a scoff and an odd look, which made me feel uncomfortable. I wasn’t sure if ordering a long black was somehow unusual here.
Thankfully, another staff member later on was very kind and offered great service, which I really appreciated.
Overall, while there were some positives, it’s not a place I would personally recommend. There are just too many little things that left me feeling underwhelmed.
