Leaf Cafe and Co
Cafes in small shopping centres are sometimes questionable but on a rainy day, this cafe was not only convenient but surprisingly good. Breakfast/brunch dishes are well made & a good portion. Poached eggs had a nice soft yolk & the smashed avocado also had a nice salty contrast from halloumi cheese. Raisin toast is the usual but came with 2x butter which was great. Muffins are baked fresh daily & the white chocolate number was sweet with a crunchy top and more cake then muffin but good to satisfy a sweet tooth. The hot chocolates were meant to be Belgium and you can choose White, Milk or Dark which was delicious and much better then the standard powder or syrup versions. Just wish it was a bit more generous on the chocolate as although it was nice, it was more the colour of a Moove chocolate milk then a nice thick Belgium chocolate. Order and pay at the counter and its not long till your food and drink arrives.
