| - After seeing so many 5-star reviews, I finally came to try it, and sadly, it did not live up to the hype - at all.
We ordered the following:
- Flat White, $3.95
- Cappuccino, $3.95
- Platform Waffle Club Sandwich, $15
- Sunrise Waffle Club Sandiwich, $16
Our bill came to $50 with tax and tips. Is it worth it? Not - at - all.
You'd think that with these price points, that the quality of food would follow, but NOPE. It is more of a $10 dish than $15-$16.
The waffles were soggy and not crispy. As the main selling point of this dish, you'd like that the waffles would be amazing - or at least good. The combination was okay but nothing mind blowing. It was also a messy eat.
We got a side of "potato curls" which were also soggy and very oily, and another side of salad that was the cheapest kind of lettuce you find in the grocery stores - iceberg. ICEBERG?! This salad is just like the ones you get for free at Japanese restaurants. They really need to step up their game on food.
I was also disappointed that their early bird was only for weekdays? Why? Sigh.
The store itself is quite nicely designed with a train theme. The seatings were very small and narrow and not very comfortable and I'm only 5'3.
Food: 1 star.
Drinks: 4 stars.
My overall rating is 2 stars as I enjoyed their coffee and their service was great. The barista was very friendly and came to check on us a few times and always with a smile.
Until they offer a better food and at a better value, I would only come back to study and for coffee.
