Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Classic case of a cafe owner failing to grasp what it takes to deliver a great experience. Comedy of errors from start to finish. No greeting on entering even though 2 staff behind counter looked up and saw us. 3 people in cafe at this...More

Great food, great coffee, great shop, great people, great wifi. It was exactly what I wanted after getting off a plane from the US. Healthy and not overly expensive.

Don't believe the hype. Food was dry, portions are small, and it's pricey. I get what they are trying to do buying local but it doesn't mean you get to act like snobs and rip people off. There are many other ethical cafes out there....More

A great place for vegans, vegetarians, gluten free, paleo and omnivores to have breakfast or lunch, wrapped in cool stylish farmers vibe. You can also buy exclusive organic, or spray free products, although the prices are a bit high.
