Small but great place. Their sandwiches and bagels are sooo good. Freshly made and great taste. Also their pastries are good.

Very pretty café in a quiet backstreet of Bray centre, yet very close to the promenade. The environment is inviting & the staff are kind and accommodating. Plenty of seating outside too, perfect on a sunny day. Coffee tasted good and there are plenty of cakes and toasties on offer. Would return for sure.

Great coffee and food. The staff are so nice even when they’re super busy they’ll get a menu down to you and the food is made very quickly. The sourdough toastie I had was unreal! Very reasonable price too. I’ll definitely make this a regular brunch place.

My coffee was very good. The other items were also very tasty. It's a lovely location. Indeed, the prices reflect that it must be a very expensive location to rent. There was a lovely seating area out front and the decorations inside looked well put together. The two servers appeared to have some communication issues with who ordered what and I saw items not be brought out because of this miscommunication. Still, it was all quickly remedied and forgotten about. Again nice place. A bit too pricey.

It‘s a small and cosy place. We had a bagel with eggs and bacon, and a cinnamon roll. Bagel was very tasty, but cinnamon roll wasn’t very satisfying, as one could hardly find cinnamon between the roll!

The filled bagels here are simply amazing. Look at this! Many fillings and very tasty. And they are not dry. Unfortunately, I take food away because I don't really like the interior here. Very damp and cold. Especially when it's cold outside
