Visited here for the first time, and was made to feel very welcome. Friendly staff, good food and a nice warm, friendly atmosphere. When people take the time to talk to their customers, it is a real bonus, and customers will, without doubt, appreciate that. I enjoyed my visit, and will certainly be back. Ian T.

Fantastic, local cafe. Staff are brilliant. You can sit in or take out. Services is always fast and friendly and the food really good. Specially recommend the coffee which is first class. In the area? Drop in for a coffee and filled roll. You will not be disappointed. Now reopened for takeaways after Covid lockdown. Staff very conscientious about imposing social distancing and restricting numbers of customers. Still the same great quality of food and friendly staff.

Ordered two cakes to celebrate two different occasions in a week and the cakes were incredible. To look at and to taste. Staff are very friendly and very helpful. I have had breakfast and lunch here too and would highly recommend it to anyone.
