"This is one of my favourite local cafés. I’ve been many times and often invite a friend to come with me. Their hot chocolate is lovely, my usual Americano is always great, and the cakes are delicious. A really welcoming place I keep coming back to."

"Lovely little cafe with great selection of cakes, sandwiches and soup. Cozy and quirky decor. Gently tinkling music. Dog friendly, but quite cramped inside. Power and USB sockets at most tables, so could be a good place to spend a while, or do some work if you need to."

"The coffee is pretty good. As good as it can get in a coffee shop of a little town. The scones need some improvement, particularly their consistency and to be offered with cream (to my knowledge they only come with butter). Staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is very pleasant in this little coffee shop."

"Fantastic coffee and cake - of course. But the savoury offerings were magnificently delicious: Sri Lanka curry soup, if that's not git a "wow", how about a goat's cheese Danish with fig jam? All taken in a quiet cool courtyard? Simply marvellous. A big thank you"

"Really cute little cafe and nicely decorated with an autumn theme. The coffee was delicious and the staff were so friendly. The only downside was that it was a little cramped and gets quite busy for how small it is but if you don’t mind being in close quarters with people then I’d highly recommend!"
