Café Nao has some tasty dishes but the coffee quality and overall flavors fall short in this set of reviews. A brunch including avocado and bacon egg benedict and a breakfast dish with baked beans and fried egg showed potatoes that were undercooked and unsalted at first, with replacements that were better cooked but still flavorless and unsalted, and beans that were undercooked. The coffee was described as burnt and unpleasant. The owner was described as friendly, and the cafe also sells coffee beans. A quiet Saturday crowd was noted as a potential warning sign about footfall. Overall, the experience came across as underseasoned and unlikely to inspire a return visit.View restaurant profile
