Was first in this morning before the usual rush. They say judge a breakfast by it's sausage and this sausage was excellent. A little on the steep side but that's expected for the area. Was greeted with a warm tasty cappuccino and warmth in service

My go to cafe for months now. Simple cafe in a really quiet location. Charming and relaxing. Not often it is busy so it’s a nice place to sit and chill. Food and coffees are great, pretty much everything a cafe needs to be is done well.

Cute little cafe Very nice food, perfect for lunch. I don’t know what they do with the chips but they’re brilliant. Even the salad was nice, wish there was more though. Friendly welcoming staff, would definitely recommend.

Really nice brunch spot, great value. Some really nice sandwich combinations. Full English with a coffee or tea for 15 pound. Portion size was maybe a little small but excellent flavour. Lots of local art on the walls, makes a very nice atmosphere. Some of the tables are a bit close to the coffee bar so they can be a bit noisy, so if you can opt for a table outside in the sun or by the window.

Didn't call in but managed to get a seat on a busy weekday morning. It's a cute tiny cafe with friendly staff, quick service and reasonable prices. We ordered a sandwich, poached eggs on toast and a flat white. If there's one thing I highly recommend, it's the Grilled Bacon and Brie sandwich with their homemade chutney. It is probably the best sandwich I've had so far. Simple flavours yet they work together perfectly! I'd be back just to have that sandwich again :)

My partner and I came here after finding reviews online saying that it was a treat. Boy oh boy were those reviews right! I had the French toast with frozen berries and white chocolate - probably one of the best sweet breakfasts I have ever had! This type of breakfast usually is too heavy for me, but it was so light and fluffy my partner had the full English which was also delicious. Coffees were spot-on, vibe was good and the people working at the cafe were informative and friendly. Keep it up team!

First time in here, and it was lovely. It has nice decor and comfy seating. It was Thursday morning, so it was reasonably quiet when I visited. Went for the Full English, which comes with tea or coffee for 12.50. Service was fast and friendly with everything brought to your table. The breakfast arrived very quickly Was given a big pot of tea, which was enough for several cups. Everything on the breakfast was lovely, and the bacon was particularly good Clean toilets with interesting artwork This place is a little walk away from the main shopping streets but definitely worth the small walk, plus there are interesting streets to explore in this area.
