Went there just for karaage chicken but ended up getting their loaded breakfast(big breakfast) n coffee. Loved the maryland fillet karaage though i like more of chicken breast karaage. Very juicy. Nice presentation n salads beneath is just so fresh. Nice presentation too. Big breakfast was really good. Again, very nice presentation. A drizzle of some sort of sauce for big breakfast would make it more complete. I hope that can be added. Long black was in takeaway paper cup which I was expecting to be in a mug or something since I was dining in. Requested for two ice cubes in long black n thats how it was ready to drink instantly. Typically, I have never witnessed just a single cup for longblack as its very hot. Hope they add more cup for safety while carrying just like every other cafe does. About the atmosphere, its quiet n beautiful with open kitchen and hot n cold baine maries in front. Different furniture setting for dine in which gives options for customers. Lovely artwork in the wall. Definitely a place to visit. Friendly staff.

31st May 2021 Today was our first visit to the pop up chef. It certainly won't be the last. The food was amazing and the customer service perfect. T- I had the crispy chicken burger, strawberry thick shake and the onion rings. The burger was to die for everything was amazing from the bun right down to the sauce. The chicken was crunchy lettuce and tomato fresh and the bacon was cooked to perfection. The strawberry thick shake was nice and thick and only got better as I drank more. As for the onion rings. The most disappointing thing about them was that they ended. Because WOW talk about amazing. Perfectly cooked tasted clean not oily and the ranch sauce (which I found out is house made) was the single greatest ranch I've ever eaten S- My order was none other than an Eggs Benedict, of course! Grateful to know they do gluten free on the menu for most of their meals. Quite happy with my meal, tasted great and the coffee was fantastic as well

Cannot recommend more. Great service, excellent food, modern online ordering system. As I've been told, everything gets sources from a local butcher, prepared, marinated, put together in the store. They make delicious, quality food and I like how up to speed they are with tech. You can order online before you head in and pay using Square Pay.
