A cute, cosy coffee shop with both indoor seating and covered outdoor seating, perfect even if it’s raining. We enjoyed the Steak Benny, eggs Benedict on two large hash browns with steak on the side, and it was absolutely delicious, and I also had one of the best coffees I’ve had here. The bill for two meals and two coffees came to just over £30, but the overall experience was delightful. The food was excellent, the coffee was great, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. I’d recommend booking a table if you want to sit inside at the weekend, as it can get busy. We walked in and sat outside, it wasn’t too cold and the cover kept us dry in the drizzle, but in the winter months you’d definitely prefer being indoors.

First visit to Buds, and won't be my last! Lovely neighbourhood cafe, great to see it so busy without being too noisy. Swift and friendly service from a welcoming team. And to top it all - a fantastic breakfast. Excellent value for money. Highly recommend a visit; make sure you leave room for cake though!
