    Love this place! Definitely recommend for an affordable quick and simple meal. Very clean and has a lovely interior. It's beautifully decorated almost Mediterranean looking. Wonderful Italian food and drink. I will definitely be coming back for the amazing food and experience. However, I feel that they need more vegan options on the menu to cater for everyone.

    They have good breakfast, cakes, and coffee. The customer service is good (but a little slow). I will say their breakfast is much better than their lunch. I'm not a fan of their pizza.

    I hate to write a bad review but Gusto was such a disappointment. We stopped in around 9am on a Saturday, asked for 1tea, 1latte and a scrambled egg on bread to go. The tea was weak, and I kid you not the latte did not have espresso in it. I am not sure if he forgot but the guy behind the counter was not a morning person, not rude but not particularly friendly.

    Finally the scrabbled egg on bread smelled terrible, runny and then we caught our train we found we had no forks.. Which honestly it didn't smell right so it was best we binned it.

    Will I try here again maybe outsidebof morning hours (even though coffee is something any morning should not go without) yes just to see if maybe it was a bad day with bad service, however I will never brave breakfast again.

    Cafe Gusto is a cosy little coffee shop up a little side street near the Royal Orchid. I'd often wandered past thinking how lovely it looked, before going inside one sunny Saturday morning for a coffee and breakfast. The coffee was delicious and I could have eaten the creamy scrambled eggs twice over. The deep leather couches next to the front window were perfect for catching those early morning rays and Italian deli fare lined the one wall of the cafe. Would definitely recommend it!
