I remember Eastern bloc from my late teens. Always felt ridiculous in there, as if I wasn’t cool enough to be in the place. The records were intimidatingly obscure, making me feel like a thick-headed Philistine. Anyways; back to the present.... On a gloriously sunny day I took J there for brekkie. I opted for the wrap. Vegan breakfast wrap I think. She had the breakfast. After seeing all the recent reviews I am sorry to have not chosen the apparently fabulous coffee. We had alcoholics beverages. Naughty but nice. Recommend for all. Great portions and a decent choice. Not outstanding, but I thought it was fine.

Lovely little cafe which offers an assortment of cakes and teas. However the real treasure is upstairs in the record shop that stocks a plethora of electro, dance, soul and reggae music. The staff are incredibly helpful and won't hesitate to hand you records they think you might enjoy to listen to on their top of the range record players. Every music lover must visit. To my amaze I found out that on some Thursdays and Fridays they have in store DJ's playing a range of music. I went to an acid house based event and it was mint!

best breakfast around the clock while waiting for a nearby meeting and after a 4-hour drive for some I was hungry and looking for an breakfast. I found this place and decided to go and I was not disappointed. a very well cooked well presented stacked breakfast, which was divine! I'll use this place again when in town.

the best was even better than they made it in a bar recently and DJ sessions worked into the mix. very stuffed and friendly staff. and of course, michael mayer, who plays the Micron preparty on 4th november, will be a bit special.
