One of the best veggie breakfasts I’ve ever had! Great customer service and reasonably priced too.
We ordered a Large Full English breakfast and a Veggie Breakfast. The presentation was good. I can't complain about the quality and quantity of food on the plate. Good service too. A good, solid breakfast to start the day.
I had a gorgeous gluten free breakfast here, some of the nicest gluten free toast I’ve had. The poached eggs were perfect and the avocado just right. My husband enjoyed his breakfast and I highly recommend the iced coffee. 💯
Fell into here by accident after being washed out by rain, was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and lovely smiles and service from all the staff. Will return!
Amazing find. This café is much larger than it appears from the front, with a nice eclectic mix of tables and chairs, sofas, etc, and lovely quirky décor. We stopped here for a quick lunch and had bacon and egg sandwiches which were gorgeous: salty bacon and runny egg on a long sourdough roll. The rolls came with genuinely the best chips I have ever eaten: crisp, not oily at all, hot and fresh. They were like you always hope chips will be and they so rarely are - and the perfect portion size for a lunchtime side. Our son had a cheddar cheese crepe, which he said was brilliant. It was crammed with lovely melted cheese and the crepe was hot and fluffy. He had a slice of Chocolate Trilogy for dessert, which seemed to be some delicious Frankenstein mash-up of brownie, cookie dough and cheesecake. It looked fabulous but we didn't get a look-in! They do all sorts of waffles and crepes, which we're looking forward to trying next time. The milkshakes look amazing. And they had really good decaf coffee, which is still a bit of a rarity. It was good value, the service was great and friendly and they had justified pride in the food they sell. We will DEFINITELY be back!
