Excellent little cafe Freshly made food and quick . Assortment of savoury and sweet pastries if that’s all they want, but other dishes hot gods amounts and served with a smile. Asked for a small Benedict at one time as not advertised and got it no hassle. Nothings too much for this little cafe. A regular now for a while. Customer service their specialty.

Really lovely bakehouse. The energy there is just awesome. Buzzing with friendly people. We started conversations with people at 4 different tables. Had lots of laughs. Hubby and me never had an experience like that in cafe before. Food was really good. Priced well for the quality and size. Not fancy foods but more like home cooked foods and even do we are foodies we still enjoyed it and went back next day and grabbed sandwich and sausage roll. Sorry no photos of those as we finished it in a hurry but sandwich was packed with tasty filling and hubby said the sausage roll was the best he ever had. So there you go. If you not sure what to try definitely grab sausage roll. Coffee was excellent. Large size came in decent large mug and was hot and delicious.
