Had a ham and cheese baguette with a hot chocolate, and both were spot on. The baguette was fresh and tasty, and the hot chocolate hit the right note. Cozy spot with a nice vibe, perfect for a quick bite. Definitely a place to return to.

Have only been twice in the last few months but really fancied “a full English” which more than delivered for me! Arrived really hot and exactly as I dreamt! We also ordered the falafel, avocado and hummus wrap, but replaced the avocado with feta. Was delicious. Will be happy to return and recommend.

This is a lovely little independent cafe, warm and friendly with nice food. I had an all day vegetarian breakfast and it was very delicious. Along the side is a little area with water, napkins etc for customers to help themselves. There's just one toilet for the customers, but it was clean and the diffusers created a lovely fragrant smell. I felt this was a business owned by a woman who had thought of the little touches that make a cafe particularly nice for customers.
