Busy brunch spot, would rate it 5 stars however I was disappointed by the pricing. I ordered a side of eggs for £2 and only received ONE egg! Totally overpriced, as I would’ve expected at least 2 eggs. The service was also very slow - took around 20 minutes to get my coffee. Although it was a packed house, the service could’ve been faster.
Lovely cafe selling very high quality breakfast and cakey items. The sausage on sour dough was delicious and I added a fried egg for good measure. High quality condiments available as well and a very good selection of Drink's coffee and juice are available. Incredibly helpful staff and good seating arrangements. Was also very dog friendly.
I would stay clear of the cinnamon bun. I was disappointed there is very little to no cinnamon and sugar between layers of roll. The flavours is doughy and buttery with no cinnamon and inconsistent sweetness.
Hot Numbers, has always been amazing; from my student days to civi street. Coffee creamy and well balanced to a selection of specialty beans, with different methods of brewing. All their kitchen food to pastry’s has always been on point (not this time).
Definitely recommend a visit for a drink and any other bites.
Update 18th Feb 2023: been meaning to put this up, but haven't found the time until now. We were invited back to try out their cinnamon and orange Morning buns to see the changes made, and the difference is night and day. Good lamination, with decent amount of sugar and cinnamon that is consistent, between the layers of the rolls. A nice crisp inviting top, that develops downward into a soft and gooey bottom, where the bun sat in the baking tray. It evident allot of care has gone into this batch. Can taste hints of orange between the sweetness and cinnamon, married in with the soft buttery pastry.
The bakers did amazingly. I highly recommend when these beauties pop up you give them a try. Thank you again @hotnumbers for having us try out your new batch. I look forward to my next visit
