The lemon and elderflower sponge is very good and very moist. The iced coffee is the perfect amount of coffee to milk with loads of syrups to choose from. The service is relaxed and friendly, and such a nice place to sit for a drink.

The loveliest cafe I have been to in quite some time! Friendly staff and great food are a good combo! We were looking for somewhere that was dog friendly to grab a coffee on oir trip back home, and ended up enjoying a really nice lunch and coffee cake for dessert. Lilly-Mae enjoyed a doggie ice cream too. Wish we were closer to pop in more often!

My boyfriend and I headed out for a morning coffee and sweet treat. Stumbled upon this lovely cafe and we were blown away! The service was lovely - even though they were jetlagged plus the food and coffee was to die for honestly the best brownie and carot cake either of us have ever had!! Definitely adding this to my regular spots

It’s so cute in here. The staff are all lovely and welcoming and all the treats are delicious. Excellent coffee! It’s my favourite Tuesday place to go.

I got a chocolate ice cream And the Rocky road. I didn't have enough time to get a photo of the immaculate ice cream as it was just so good so I scoffed it down. The rocky road had the perfect combos and the service was amazing giving me a perfect amount of time to pick from all the scrumptious looking things.

We had a couple of hours to wait whilst our dog was at the groomer so decided to have lunch here. We had very nice paninis and coffee and were then tempted by the beautiful homemade cakes. Lots of choice, quality food, including vegetarian, vegan and gluten free. Lovely, relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Great little place for coffee, little bites and ice creams. The lady even helped us by suggesting places to visit near by. Reasonably priced and welcoming environment with free parking. Will surely visit again n again.
