Customer Review Summary

Breakfast is what regulars return for, with a baguette breakfast, bacon sandwiches and a mega breakfast named, and one reviewer calling a breakfast non greasy. Close behind are the cakes and baked goods: scones, drizzle lemon cake, a cream tea and pasties at a christening buffet that one family praised warmly. Reviewers also mention a strong flat white and a deluxe hot chocolate. Staff are repeatedly described as welcoming and friendly, and several call prices affordable, with outdoor seating noted for sunny days. The caveats are about the cooking. One reviewer felt the mega breakfast was deep fried and lost its taste, with cheap-tasting sausages, though the portion and quick table turnaround were credited and the milkshake machine made it noisy. Another found a strawberry milkshake watery and the bacon and sausage undercooked on an all day breakfast. Reviewers also describe a mix of locals and passing customers, with one calling it a friendly local eating place full of regulars.
