Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return most for the homemade cakes and the coffee, with a flapjack described as an enormous "Yorkshire portion" and a panini, a big hot chocolate and a creamy iced mocha also singled out. Several mention oat milk and other alternative milk options. Close behind is the owner, described repeatedly as friendly and lovely, who knows customers by name and gives the place a real community feel. Reviewers also praise the relaxed, homely atmosphere, comfy seats and the local artwork and gifts for sale, and prices are called reasonable and good value by several. Some mention a Friday evening Silent Book Club, crochet workshops and being allowed to work remotely. One reviewer notes the couch seating would be a tighter squeeze with a baby in a buggy. No complaints about food or service appear, and one visitor describes a fresh mixed berry smoothie for a child and iced coffees with cake as exactly what they were hoping to find on a whim.

“Such a relaxed place to be. The owner is absolutely lovely too, very casual and makes you feel comfortable. My hot chocolate was exactly what I needed, big in size and full of flavour. My partner also loved his panini… of course I had to steal a bite! 😋 Definitely worth a visit if you like a casual yet homely atmospheres 👍 Bonus points for alternative milk options and delicious cakes!! 🎂”
