Such a great experience from start to finish! While the cafe is small, it is decorated beautifully and though it was full by the time we finished our meal, it didn’t feel cramped or crowded at all. The service was superb, and we received a congratulatory card for our celebration. The food was also delicious: the avocado toast and eggs florentine were the popular dishes - everyone else around us got the same thing. Great portion. We also got the tea/coffee/juice option, so we had no shortage of drinks. I personally think the breakfast is a great value over the afternoon tea - we were full until dinner time! Overall, any Tiffany’s lover will enjoy this cafe. Happy I finally got to experience it!

Food was delicious served by very pleasant staff. Glad we'd booked, as our table was in an area away from the main throng. The lighting may not have been as pleasing, (a little bright), but at least it was away from the screaming kids. Noise levels in the main body of the area were high.
