   Lovely brunch experience with my family; a great choice of food including gluten free options for my husband. Staff were friendly and the atmosphere was great for us to catch up with my daughter and her fiancé. The service could have been a bit faster but we had loads to catch up on and the staff were friendly so that wasn’t a major issue. Great location round the corner from South Bank, The London Eye, London Dungeon etc so a good spot to visit all those things afterwards. I’d definitely recommend it and would happily eat there again.

   Dear Karen, Thank your for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're delighted to hear that you have had a great experience. Indeed the Green eggs is always a good choice and you can never go wrong with a bacon & egg bun, especially with a pot of tea. Take care, TBP

   One of our drink orders was incorrect, but the staff replaced it right away, thank you! Best to reserve especially during the weekend!

    I do like it here - it’s bright and I do like that there was no music on. Places nowadays are too noisy, too loud music etc. so this is a place that works for me. Good food and even better coffee :-)
