“Popped in for full breakfast before travelling back home, no issues, welcoming and a lovely fry up.”

“A lovely little cafe spot with some delicious food! Our waitress was a lovely young lady who had some divine manners and treat us with respect and answered our queries about the menu. And if you get chance, definitely have some of the cakes to try too, they are unreal 😍 Truly a lovely little place for a bite to eat ❤️🥰”

“A wonderful market square location in Alnwick.Second time we have visited and had to return.From the warm welcome to full tummies we certainly enjoy visits.The hot chocolate with marshmallows is to die for says me Mr fatty 🤣whilst my wife enjoyed her flat ☕ coffee. Food wise wife opted for Cumberland sausages with Yorkshire pudding & lashings of gravy whilst I succumbed to baked potato and chilli with salad.Both meals went down thoroughly well. A lovely small inside seating area to watch the hustle and bustle of life.Staff lovely and ensured our visit was an enjoyable one. This has now become our go to place in Alnwick with a great menu for all. Seating areas outside most welcoming too. So very highly recommended 👌 by us both 😉”

“Such a lovely little cozy café! It has a warm, welcoming atmosphere and really feels like a family-run business where everything is made with care. The service is super friendly, and the whole place has so much charm and character. Highly recommend! ☕️”

“Food quite acceptable for a cafe. Took a while to arrive at the table, but it was a busy time and probably one one cook. Just enough room to sit, but if all seats were being used, I think it would feel quite cramped. There was outside seating if preferred. Would go back though.”
