    Food is very mediocre. Maybe it was our choices, but definitely won’t return for the food but rather the atmosphere and painting.

    From the moment we walked into this cozy cafe, we were immediately greeted by the friendly staff who showed us to our seats and explained how everything worked, which was great as none of us had ever been to this type of restaurant before. We ordered a few pizza's, which were all amazing, recommend the black forest ham. So delicious. I will say that if you're in a hurry then this isn't the space for you. Go and enjoy the vibe, the food and get creative. Get your fingers dirty and capture every moment, The staff are more than happy to take a few photos of your group.. Looking forward to seeing our creations in there final form.
