Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the window views over the River Avon and the weir, and the cakes that come with them, with the lemon cake, chocolate cake and carrot cake all named, the last called a work of art. Close behind is the staff, described as friendly, warm and kind, with one reviewer recalling a woman at the counter who made room for three large trolleys despite the small space. The coffee gets good mentions too, though one reviewer calls the cappuccino standard. The size is the recurring trade-off. Only a handful of tables fit inside, so a few note that the window seat takes patience, that more than two people fill the whole floor, and that seating can feel cramped. One reviewer left a single-star review over a takeaway order of a cheese pasty, a strawberry and rhubarb slice and two cans of drink that came to more than expected, and says staff confirmed the total was correct when queried.

“Absolutely stunned at the price! To support a local business I got food to takeaway, 1 cheese pasty, a strawberry and rhubarb slice and 2 cans of drink and it came to £16.20. I absolutely won't be coming back and having been many times before I've never paid that much. I queried and it and was told it was correct. Mind blown!”

“The coffee shop is little one but still gave me romantic vibes. The food and service is very great. Truly enjoyed staying here for a breakfast 🥞😍 I think it would be more fair and kind of us, as customers to show more appreciation in a better form than just a thank you if you know what I mean 😌🙏”

“Such a beautiful brunch place, amazing location and view! Great food, but the best part was the woman behind the counter. She was such a gem. We came tired to the city and had our 3 big trolleys with us. She accommodated and made space for, despite the cafe being small. Made us feel welcome to the city. Amazing hospitality, would highly recommend!”
