Ive had breakfast here a few times, usually I have an Omelette and a coffee ( from the pot).
Omelette was nice, I usually get it with bacon or a vegetarian one. It comes with bread but I chose to skip that. €13.80.The omelets are nice usually and the rashers are fine.
The cup of coffee was €3.80, which is very expensive for a small cup of pot coffee.
All in all, decent quality but definitely overpriced coffee. Staff was kind and friendly.
