I absolutely love coming here! The owners and staff are always super kind and friendly! They make the most delicious cakes ever and the coffee is brilliant! The lunch is amazing, especially the mushrooms on toast! And it's coeliac friendly! I'm so grateful this place exists!

My third time today. Recently dairy intolerant and the 2 ladies behind the counter were so helpful in allowing me to taste different alternative milks before I buy for home use. Thank you!!!! The cinnamon swirls are still super delicious ;-) cookies bar awesome too.
