This new cafe is brilliant! Firstly it is located near Orpington, sidcup, Swanley and covers London and Kent which I’m pleased about as it’s a diverse cafe serving Caribbean food aswell and American and English breakfasts and lunches ! Today I ordered via Deliveroo and order arrived in about an hour, first time buying the plaintain wrap and it was delicious with the flavourful jerk sauce and fresh peppers! Plaintain is very fresh and not at all greasy!! Honestly really nice food, even offer vegan Mac n cheese! The price is fair considering portion size is generous, sprinkle cake is delicious and moist! Everything is spot on and I would recommend ordering for sure. Reason for 4 star is because they do not have rice and peas or patties on the menu which is a shame but still amazing food and packaging. Thanks even provide fresh salad with kids meals.

Just ordered a lamb patty as I was in a hurry but was not disappointed. Delicious Glad they kept it open and turned it around. It's what the area needs.

Been here a couple of times now, and love it. Food is fresh and tasty - had the Sunday roast today and it was lovely and great value at £7.95 for the one meat roast. Staff are friendly and the cafe is clean and nicely decorated.
