This pretty-in-pink spot specialises in French toast, and by that we mean the menu is literally just sweet French toast. The thick slices of toast are fried while maintaining a perfectly fluffy centre and drenched in either Nutella, Kinder or Salted Caramel. And yes, they’re all sinfully delicious.
