Customer Review Summary
Reviewers repeatedly point to the yogurt with granola and fresh fruit and generous breakfast plates, plus an open prawn salad sandwich, as standouts, with cakes and scones drawing praise too. Portions run large and value is called fantastic. The main gripe is space and wait, tables fill fast, queuing is common, and one visit was capped at ninety minutes.

“Been looking forward to visiting here for ages and was definitely worth the wait. Food was amazing and freshly prepared. Generous portions, excellent value too and the staff couldnt be more lovely. Also grabbed a cake to take home which was also delicious. Already planning my next visit!”

“Called in last Tuesday after may bank holiday. Just stopped on of chance for some lunch. Popular place and quite small. Had to cue for seat, glad we waited. Had open prawn salad sandwich and my wife had quiche. Absolutely fantastic. However portion sizes so large, could not eat anything else. Quite upset as the cakes and scones looked amazing. Will definitely call in the next time we are in the area, but will try and book.”

“We have tried to try this café several times, but they were always full. We managed to get a table this morning, but the remaining tables were filled very quickly. We both opted for the yogurt with granola and fresh fruit...which was beautifully presented and delicious. Our coffees were also very good. They offer an amazing choice of cakes and traybakes (we took one home). The café is dog friendly and can accommodate 28 diners. They also offer a takeaway service and a loyalty card scheme (7 hot drinks and 8th one free). Definitely worth a visit and we will return.”

“First visit. Perfect for quick stops if you've booked a table or takeaway. If you want to stay for more than 90 minutes, this is not the place. The food was brilliant. We all chose our favourite breakfast options with a …”

“Visited here as a group of 5 for a family lunch. Food was fantastic, tasty and super fresh. Great value for money too. If I'm being picky, the wait we had to receive our meals was a bit long, but to be honest, we had plenty of time. All in all, it was very enjoyable and will definitely be going back at some time.”
