Roni’s

Terrible dirty coffee shop for kids. Staff here are useless. Coffee is gross

One of few options for breakfast/​brunch in the area but sadly we were quite disappointed and won’t be back. We order the royale and florentine Benedicts — the bread (both brioche and bagel) was dry and tasteless and the eggs were a bit watery. The lady who served us was quite strange and unfriendly and the staff kept propping the door open to serve the outside table on a day it was just about 0 degrees! Fine if you’re brave enough to sit outside but we chose to sit inside hoping for some warmth!

Food — the croissants are surprisingly crusty on the outside, doughy and soft in the inside. Cappuccino was light in flavor but foam was good.
Service — very very friendly and fast

A new addition to the walk up to Hampstead caught our eye, so fellow Unilocaler Vickie and I popped in for work lunch. An interesting and quite diverse menu spans the tastes of mini burgers, all-​day breakfasts, pastas and yes, baked goods.
I went with a Mediterranean breakfast which kind of reminds me of how I behave when I eat breakfast on holidays in hotels, a bit of this, bit of that, but it all worked together– Eggs, tuna, tahini, salad, slices of cheddar, brie, bread, it’s a mini buffet for one. Our nearby diners had the salmon breakfast platter which looked amazing and gave us a bit of food envy.
There’s something for any time of day, and a couple of outside seats so you can watch the traffic and dogs go by, a great café and good value for money!
