"So I work at a Starbucks and have for 2 years. I never liked black coffee. Sure I drank it sometimes, but even so, not my favorite. I came to brews and bites and my eyes were OPENED. The food? Insanely good. The atmosphere? So chic. The coffee? Literally blows Starbucks out of the water with half the price. I paid £7 for a huge cinnamon roll and a large americano. Genuinely made my mood better. Do not go to Starbucks. Come here."

"Very nice sandwich with ciabatta bread grilled halloumi chili jam and mint with side of green salad and delicious coleslaw for £8.9 and strong and sweet Mumbai Railway Chai Latte for £3. Nice decor, option to sit in or outside. Although the road is a little busy at times."

"Nice place for good & affordable breakfast, we paid around 18€ for two rolls (bacon and ham, salad & coleslaw) and two coffees. The coffee was okay (no hint of acidity though ), the bacon roll was delicious, the only issue I had was with some of the veggies in my ham roll being a bit too cold for my teeth but overall we were glad we went here and would happily come back again."
