  “Amazing coffee and great food selection. My favourite is the Kimchi ciabatta - delicious! The Sunday roast is such a great portion size and super tasty. The staff are also really welcoming. Recommend!”

  “My regular coffee spot because the coffee is just great! A chorizo toastie with hot honey is my fav at the moment, but Sunday roast are my dream boat. Give it a go and see for yourself.”

  ““Bad” Squirrel should have tipped us off by the name! To be fair, the café has a nice atmosphere and we liked the décor, which is why we wanted to give it a try in the first place. The staff were friendly enough. We ordered Eggs Benedict, two poke bowls, coffees, and a mango & chilli iced tea. The coffee was very average, and the iced tea was completely undrinkable – it tasted like Vimto mixed with chilli. We waited over an hour for our food and had to ask for an update ourselves. When the food finally arrived, the Eggs Benedict was disappointing – one egg wasn’t runny, the bread was stale and dry, and the ham looked very cheap. To be fair, the chef did make me another poached egg, but by that point the meal was inedible and I requested a refund instead. The poke bowls were terrible. The rice was gloopy, there was hardly any mackerel, and the portion sizes were tiny. I genuinely can’t understand the reviews for this place. It seems odd, especially as it used to be another café that apparently closed down due to food hygiene issues. We also watched a kitchen staff member drop a utensil on the floor, pick it up, and continue using it. I received a refund and left hungry and frustrated. My friends regretted not asking for refunds as well.”

  “We woke up hungry and did a quick Google search this place popped up and looked great, plus it’s super close to our house. Lovely bakery with great drinks. Definitely a good find!”

  “⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Came in for breakfast and was greeted by the loveliest staff — such a warm and welcoming start to the day. I ordered the pork & sage sausage roll, which was absolutely delicious, and then tried a pastel de nata… which quickly turned into two because I just couldn’t resist. They were perfect — beautifully caramelised on top and instantly transported me back to Portugal. The matcha latte was spot on as well, smooth and perfectly balanced. I also couldn’t leave without taking home the carrot and walnut cupcake, which was just as good later on. It was also great value for money considering how much we ordered — definitely so much better than any chain coffee shop. Everything from the food to the service was fantastic. Can’t wait to come back!”

  “Wow. We came into town for a little three day vacay and this place is around the corner from our Airbnb and we are the lucky ones for it. We went it to grab sandwiches and loved them so much that we grabbed Sunday dinner to go for our dinner. Full of flavor, the owner has a passion for food, it's evident, and I can't wait to go again while we are here.”

  “We didn't arrive until very late, they were prepping for the next day. But what amazing service, so friendly and informative. The sandwiches we had were absolutely delicious. I highly recommend you grabbing a bite to eat here, you will not be disappointed. I will also be back on a Sunday to grab lunch as the prep they do and the way they cook the food means I am certain it will be exceptional 😋 Thankyou”

  “The owners are so friendly & welcoming. I got a chocolate & pistachio cruffin which I had never tried before. They warmed it up for me which was such a nice touch, it was delicious. For the main part of my lunch I got a toasted bacon, brie & cranberry bagel a classic. They’d added rocket to it which went really well with the flavours. I would highly recommend this place and will be bringing friends :)”
