Quirky little cafe this place and its quite hidden and a little gem. Located just behind the shambles market it looks really small from the outside. We went in and there are 2 floors of seating walking up a spiral staircase and it is mostly film themed with quotes from various classics and lots of posters on the walls. Its dog friendly and the breakfasts looked spot on although they finish at midday lots of other options available. We just had a drink before venturing home. Keep up the good work witches 👏
Excellent! Quirky setting with fab music and film quotes on the walls. Delicious food and generous portions- I had the prawn salad. Very friendly staff- would highly recommend!
the woman who served us was lovely and service was quick. the atmosphere is cute and cozy. the food however was not to my liking. overpriced for what you get, the cheesesteak sandwich was a thin and flimsy steak and both sandwiches not much filling + cheese was not melted or hot despite being toasted. cheese and onion crisps on the side was strange to me as opposed to the usual ready salted but my boyfriend liked them. the salad was nice, i love pickled veg and beetroot. coleslaw had way too much mayo. unfortunately found a hair in my sandwich towards the end of the meal which put me off coming back. this cafe does have great music choices though.
Neola was a fantastic server very friendly and helpful! A very filling meal well worth the money! Will be back again! It was 11.95 for the steak sandwich. Pay by cash if you can to help a small business.
A quirky little cafe that's nicely decorated with good food and a great atmosphere. I had the chicken and bacon club, it had a good amount of filling in it and was nicely toasted, the latte was good and had a biscoff biscuit with it too. The smoothie was really good and tasted like it was pretty much all fruit. The prices were all reasonable too. If you aren't great on your feet it might not be for you though as it does have quite a steep spiral staircase.
