Stumbled across this fantastic little coffee shop with a delightful array of gluten & dairy free treats! Received a warm welcome. Recommend the dark hot chocolate and iced oat matcha latte🤗
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.
A truly wonderful place which is like a step back in time. The best coffee for miles.
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
Gorgeous vegan food, I had the Thai green lentil soup with sourdough. Americano really nice, I love a good coffee. Partner had loose leaf tea, which was also really good. My new go to place for food and drinks in Knaresborough
