Cafe Route

We keep coming back to Route for the food - particularly breakfast and brunch as the portions are huge and the food is super fresh. Everything is tasty, well cooked and arrives in a flash!

I would love it if there were one or two smaller, lighter brunch/breakfast options available too, as I often don’t manage to eat more than half a portion, which feels wasteful. My boyfriend appreciates how generous everything is, though!

Folk at Route, your coffee needs an upgrade: we always skip coffee here and go elsewhere before or afterwards.

Good service - polite, friendly, and accommodating.

Great booking practice; everyone was friendly. When we attended the staff were friendly but half way through our meal they took the plates from under us to end the night early - this was while we were eating and our spoons were in the food. I was mid-mouthful when they reached to take my plate. Quite rude and off putting, making us leave straight after. Recommend booking very early in the evening to avoid disappointment.

I went for a lovely lunch the other day with my partner, I ordered a shakshouka one of my favourite dish and unfortunately the eggs were under cooked and did taste very bad so I asked to the waiter to have what my girlfriend was eating instead but I had to wait a very long to get it and by the time I got it  she already finished her meal.
Now I've been working in this industry for many years and "accident" can happen to everyone but make a customer wait for someone else mistake is inexcusable.
Its a shame because I used to like the place and their cuisine but what happened left very disappointed.

They have a great Salad selection if you're into that type of food, the coffee is good and there's plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. Great little spot for a coffee or brunch, they also offer vegetarian and vegan options.
