"We treated ourselves to breakfast at Silk Cafe and we weren't disappointed! Great atmosphere, good service and amazing food. We had eggs Benedict, 2 perfectly poached eggs, a decent serve of bacon that was cooked just till it was caramelised, crispy sour dough bread with fresh spinach. But the best thing was the sauce. OMG it was sooooo good! The chai latte was real chai and my husband had a cappuccino made with Zymil- a option which was so nice to see. Don't be fooled by the location amongst the industrial businesses- it's a little gem. Highly recommend."

"Good Honest Food Called in there 27 January for lunch while waiting for a service at Mobility Matters. We've enjoyed breakfast here some months ago and were impressed by the quality and quantity of the food. Most of the menu is available under the heading 'All day breakfast' and there is a wealth of choices. I decided on the Gourmet Steak Sandwich. Great choice. Service was prompt and friendly. Food was delicious and on the edge of being too much to eat! Highly recommend."
