Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the cafe's coffee and lunches, singling out the falafel bowl with tzatziki, pickled red cabbage and Muhammara dip. Close behind are the Eggs Benedict and the freshly made paninis served with salad and fries. Staff are called friendly, and one dog owner was brought a bowl of water. The one complaint is that some items had run out by 2pm.

- Martyn Luscombe
“We didn't experience the rooms, we did enjoy the cafe, the staff were helpful and friendly. We sampled some of the options on the menu which were wholesome and enjoyable. The atmosphere was pleasant and friendly.”
- Donna Hicks
“What a super spot I found for an iced coffee and delicious and healthy lunch after my dog walk (actually need to walk home after, so a good break!). Super friendly service from the two fellas and lady that served me. I found the best spot on the sofa in the shade for me and my dog, and she was even brought a bowl of water. I highly recommend the falafel bowl with tzatziki. The pickled red cabbage is delicious and I need the Muhammara dip recipe. Yum. Taking half of it home for later! I’m new to Topsham so this place will be a regular haunt I reckon! Thanks team.”
