Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return most for the cakes and the coffee, with the lemon drizzle cake topped with meringue, cream and fresh raspberries singled out by one, and a lush vegan carrot cake noted by another. Close behind is the welcome: the owner is described as lovely and chatty, one reviewer recalls a song played at the end of their drink, and the barista and staff are called friendly and helpful. Paninis with salad and freshly made coleslaw are called delicious, and the breakfast and lunch menu is described as simple but full of flavour, with prompt service. Several mention the resident dog and the beautiful decoration. Alternative milk is available. The complaints are small but specific. One reviewer arrived around lunchtime on a Friday to find the cafe shut with the blinds down, despite the posted hours matching Google. Another found their breakfast came with a shared bowl of beans, a first for them. One reviewer closes with a song from the owner as the drinks wind down.
