I am lucky enough to pay at least 1 visit per week to this gem of a cafe. Delicious food and great staff. Poached egg special is amazing!

We have been a few times and came across the cafe as we where from Australia. We met up with friends and had coffee, hot chocolate and a meal. Great nachos and the Med plate and breakfast. Wow, amazing.

I'm a Glass Onion first timer and I loved it. Following the warm friendly greeting as I arrived, I went for the Vegan Breakfast and Beetroot latte - it was great! Everything prepared just right and cooked to perfection. Even the toast was spot on - so often when using artisan bread the toast is over done - not at the Glass Onion I'll be back to work my way through the menu

The Glass Onion is a hidden gem. Super friendly staff are backed up by a stylish cafe that has a high quality superb menu. The food is excellent. I had the special poached eggs which included avocado, halloumi, eggs , artisan sourdough bread, salad and more. The flavours were excellent. Highly recommend a visit.

A lovely vegetarian/vegan suburban cafe. Lovely staff, nice layout, nice menu. Had the vegan breakfast which was lovely, and my only quibble would be for some scrambled tofu. Highly recommend a visit.

A lovely vegetarian and vegan cafe. More seating than expected from looking on the outside. I had the quiche which was really tasty. Coffee was excellent. Only downside is that it is tricky to park around there.

The Glass Onion has got a great reputation, and from the couple of times I've been there, I can see why. I chose the mushroom with pesto, vegan feta and guacamole, which came with sour dough toast, for breakfast , and it was delicious . And I was intrigued to see what others had ordered, and each dish that came out, looked equally amazing. One day I'll have to go back for tea and cake because they too look fab.
