Before you head over
Helpful tips on transit timing, seated brunch pacing, and menu options
Grab Trainside Takeaway
Order via the station-facing window if you are running to catch a train, as patrons note you do not need to step inside to grab coffee and pastries fast.
Allow Time for Dine-In Brunch
For breakfast plates like the lamb benedict or baked eggs, consider dining in when you have ample time, as seated brunch service is slower than quick coffee service.
Explore the Beef Bacon Option
Opt for the beef rasher bacon alternative if you prefer non-pork breakfast options, which pairs well across traditional morning staples.
