Willmotts is also perfect for a relaxed brunch, especially on a Sunday morning when the staff is as friendly as they are attentive.

I love Willmotts. The staff are always lovely and very understanding when we come in hungover on a sunday morning for breakfast. The food is always lovely and well seasoned, with generous portions that make up for the insane price tag. The bread they use for soups, toast etc is lovely.

A lovely, quiet and pleasant place for a great cup of coffee or a pot of tea. My only complaint is that the coffee cups are a little on the small side. It definitely has a European feel about it.

Just lookit that cinnamon scroll in the picture! So delicious I j*zzed in my pants as I ate it. Unfortunately, it was during a business meeting. Fortunately, I work for some amazing people. Unfortunately, this scroll was pretty fattening. Fortunately, I dont care because it literally has a sprinkling of fairy dust on its sugar encrusted exterior. Come here today and eat awesome food!

We went to Orso for lunch but they were full so we end up having lunch here instead and it end up being a very good option. They offer a small menu with some options of fresh pasta and even a big steak. All the food ces from Orso. We ordered a fried chicken and some fresh pasta. The portions were good size and the pasta was just amazing. Very fresh and tasty. The service was fantastic the men there was very friendly helpful and offered an exceptional service. I highly recommend this place not only for a coffee but also for lunch ...
