Can't be helped but when a group of young men sit nearby inside and are having a great time they are very boisterous and noisy, consequently the only way to finish enjoying our stay was actually to leave. They certainly weren't offensive tho, just having a good time. This was the comment I thought to send.

Absolutely fantastic service and great food was amazing. Catch up with friends who haven't been in contact and the staff did not at any point try to rush us or force to order. I love this cafe and have been many times.
