Most Disliked
While the food quality is top-notch, some guests mention that seating could be improved, making it less comfortable for those dining in. A few patrons have expressed that the shop can get quite busy during peak hours, which may impact the speed of service. Although the takeaway options are popular, a couple of diners hoped for more diverse options on the menu, particularly for those seeking vegetarian or vegan selections. However, these complaints are generally overshadowed by the overall positive dining experience.
