  “Quiet place with good drinks and pastries before or after your visit of the cathedral. There is a hidden, beautiful outside seating spot.”

  “Real nice place to go for a coffee and cake. Only a couple of mins of the high street but was not too busy. Staff were nice and the cakes were delicious.”

  “Afternoon tea was amazing. Great choice of fillings for big, tasty sandwiches ( Stilton, walnut and cranberry, and chicken and bacon), home baked sweet treats ( scones, cream and jams, mocha loaf, and lime courgette cake), quiche and a big pot of tea, each. The service was phenomenal. So friendly and chatty, I wanted them to pull a chair to join us haha. Tuesday pm was quiet and maybe some church or classical music would have boosted the atmosphere to a five, rather than silence when we were eating. Cleanliness was spot on too. Looking forward to going back. Diolch!”

  “Visited with a friend for brunch. Good choice of food and drinks. It wasn't too busy and we could sit and chat. We like it here and usually combine our visit with a stroll around the cathedral.”

  “Wow! We were a group of 7 (3 kids inc) and we were all blown away by the quality and efficiency of how well the Afternoon Tea was. We had a slight hiccup but the staff were great at resolving it and it didn't hugely affect our experience or afternoon. We took a gamble going here and boy were we glad we did, my auntie and mum were particularly impressed and very happy to plan their next trip back already!! I called up to make the booking only the day before, made a few requests on types of sandwiches and scones, and it was just as Catherine had explained on the call, her suggestions were super helpful and appreciated too especially when ordering for kids. The cafe itself was nice and modern and cozy too, as we were quite a big group with kids we were a bit loud now and then (as you'd expect) and we did notice some of the other patrons were not too impressed with this so we tried to keep it down as much as we could. Clean toilets which I think were shared with the cathedral visitors too but enough and pleasant enough. I definitely recommend this and would definitely like to come back for the right occasion. Thank you again to all the team there today you made it a special time for us all xx”

  “Stumbled into this place by accident while in the cathedral and im so glad that we did!! We were hungry and gonna be looking for some breakfast anyways lol. The staff here were all so welcoming and understanding. It was one of our first days here so we were still getting used to the accents and what things were on the menu.”

  “We really enjoyed our lunch here today. Really fresh, tasty and good sized portions. Bread was lovely. We had to wait quite a while but we didn't mind because it was quite busy and we weren't in a rush. Coffee was very nice too. Would recommend.”
