First time visiting Idle Hands but seeing the cakes near the till, I'm sure it won't be the last! My friend and I really enjoyed our tasty breakfasts (Divorced Eggs and Turkish Eggs). My oat milk iced mocha was so delicious that I very nearly ordered another. The tables are pretty close together so it can be a bit noisy but I think that's to be expected for a city centre café. Looking forward to my next iced mocha! 😋

The coffee was really good but small. The banana pie was rather disappointing
