Most Disliked
While the atmosphere is generally inviting, some patrons mention that the food can be basic. Though it's prepared quickly, it may not stand out for those seeking gourmet experiences. A few reviews highlighted that while the menu is extensive, not all dishes may be exciting or memorable.
On busy days, the service may slow down; however, this often highlights the café's popularity. A mention of inconsistency in the meal temperature arose, with a couple of guests reporting dishes arriving lukewarm. Though these complaints might sprinkle in some realism, for many, the overall value and experience still shine brightly at Brunch.

Me & the kids love Brunch. Been having milkshakes and lunches there since they were little. Now we're all no so little and still a popular stop. Muffins are ace too.
