There's always wait, but always worth it. Great coffee, great food. Too bad they don't split bills...I always wonder why some restaurants do it so easily and others can't at all? Regardless, will go back again and again. The Ottoman eggs are a fave!
Been dining at Circa for years. The quality of the food and coffee have been consistently great over that time. Today I had the chicken salad with an iced dark chocolate chai latte. Sat outside in the patio on a nice sunny day. Very nice salad for a summerโs day. The drink was refreshing and a good pairing with the salad.
I ordered Ottoman eggs and it was awesome. I've never had aubergine like this before. The fried aubergine had a rich, brown butter flavour! I'll definitely recommend trying it. Also, I spilled some water on the table, and one of the staff members took care of it before I even had to ask. I'm afraid I didn't catch his name but I really appreciated that!
Circa Espresso has a really nice vibe. Really warm, inviting, and full of character. The staff are all lovely and very accommodating, especially when I asked to add avocado and eggs to my dish. I ordered the baked eggs with beef sujuk, which had great flavour overall, but unfortunately came out cold, so Iโd rate it a 4/5. The muhammara and dukkah were nice but couldโve used a bit more flavour. The coffee was good but also came out a little cold, which was a shame. I also tried the chia pudding, it was okay, nothing special. Still, the service and atmosphere made up for it. Definitely a cool spot worth visiting, just hope the foodโs hotter next time!
It was a Sunday morning and we hadnโt booked. Did realise that we needed to. Big mistake. This place is popular. We waited about ten or fifteen minutes and then got seated on the front patio. It was lovely. For brunch we had the avocado dish which was delicious.. Had to ask for the poached egg as an add on. I reckon this is a โmust visitโ place.
