" The Lunch Box is a fantastic spot for some down-to-earth, delicious food! I came here for a late breakfast and ordered the breakfast burrito. It was loaded and very satisfying. The staff was friendly, which made the visit enjoyable. Even though it's on the smaller side, I think that adds to its charm. I’ll certainly be back to try their lunch options too.

The place itself can be a bit cramped, but there’s a lovely atmosphere once you’re settled in. The staff were both friendly and attentive throughout. I’ll certainly be returning soon to try other refreshing options. " (*Curated Review*)

Truthfully, there isn’t much space to eat in, but I think the takeaway is fantastic too. Highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)
