Incredibly friendly staff and cosy space upstairs (great to watch dogs trotting down the high street). Decent coffee and lots of cakes and bakes. Wouldn’t hesitate to return!

Best coffee I've EVER had! And don't even get me started on the sandwiches.... You're totally spoilt for choice in here. I can't wait to come back and work my way through the whole selection. Thank you all!

The menu offered a great variety, with something to suit everyone's tastes. Everything was beautifully presented. The children particularly loved the donuts. I purchased the iced latte, which was freshly made, not blended and looked nicely presented. However, it was served in a plastic can with a metal lid and accompanied by a paper straw. While the presentation was trendy, it didn’t feel very eco-conscious, which slightly detracted from the experience. The service was warm and welcoming, although a bit on the slow side. That said, we didn't mind too much, as the outdoor seating area offered a lovely atmosphere. It was a pleasure to relax and take in the charm of the town — watching a local artist at work and enjoying the performances from talented street entertainers made the visit all the more memorable. Overall, it was a delightful experience and I’d happily return.
