Glad I found this cafe! Started off with a Mocha, I decided on the full English breakfast, I was relieved that they were still serving breakfast as it was after 12, they serve all day. Didn't have to wait long, the presentation was great, everything was cooked properly and the quality of the food is high. Friendly staff, top quality food and service. Very Happy *****
We found “the feather trail cafe” on a review on tik tok and knew we needed to try their pancakes, and they did not disappoint! The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the place had a really lovely feel and atmosphere to it. It is also dog friendly which is a huge plus for us as our little dog came with us. I would highly recommend to everybody 😃
5 stars isn't enough to describe how lovely this place is! We had such a great breakfast and the coffee was spot on. The vibe in the cafe is perfect and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Would 100% recommend you visit if you're in the area and we will absolutely return again! Thank you!!
Very friendly and welcoming. We had the 'Full English Breakfast' and the 'Vegetarian Breakfast' along with a nice latte and flat white.
We had travelled from a village about 20 minutes away having seen the good reviews and that they were dog friendly but found on arrival that they aren't able to seat more than 4 people unfortunately. As there were 5 of us sadly we were not allowed in, and were told even the option of taking two separate tables wouldn't be allowed. I have given a score of 4/5 as I don't want to spoil their overall reviews having not actually had the opportunity to give the cafe a proper try, but wanted to leave a review to warn others who might be in the same situation so that they don't have a wasted journey.
