Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often come back to the cinnamon buns, described as freshly baked, warm and gooey, with a hot iced cinnamon roll also singled out. Close behind are the brownies and the proatie, a flapjack-style bar, and several note that the sweet potato in the bakes never shows in the taste. One reviewer adds that the monthly bar flavours have become a pre-workout staple, and another calls the place their go-to for macro friendly desserts. The coffee, latte and hot chocolate earn praise as really good, and one reviewer mentions a secret menu of milkshakes. Owners and staff come across as friendly and welcoming, and one reviewer made a nearly two hour drive for a first visit. The one caution comes from a reviewer who warns that there are nuts in basically everything. Several reviewers say they order a box of brownies regularly, and one says a monthly box lasts only a week.

“My mum and I visited this bakery and had such a lovely experience. The gentleman who owns and works there was so welcoming and kind, which really made the visit special. The atmosphere is warm and unique, there’s truly nothing else like it. …”

“I am so fussy about sweet treats and always check labels etc but this place is literal heaven on earth 😍 everything is delicious and I never feel guilty about having anything! So much so we’re here every weekend ❤️”
- Gareth Newark
“A lovely café / bakery with a healthy twist. I ordered a box of brownies for mother's day and went with my gf to collect. Tried a proatie (flapjack thing) and a hot iced cinnamon roll 🤤. Both were delicious with no hint of "healthy weird taste". You can't tell there's sweet potato in anything. The coffee and hot chocolate were also really good and everything seems made with love. We'll be going back for brunch at some point for sure. Fair earning: there's nuts in basically everything.”
- Matt Elms
“Delicious cakes with healthy alternatives. Best milkshakes in town (ask for the secret menu!) Very nice artisan coffee. Owners Matt and Ebs are incredibly friendly and always happy to help, service with a smile. Amil is also a top gent, great service!”
