Customer Review Summary

Coffee draws the most consistent praise, with reviewers repeatedly calling it great tasting and good quality, including a well priced cappuccino and a regular latte noted at an affordable price. Close behind, the panini turns up often, from a hot bacon and sausage version to a chicken panini with salad called really tasty, and a sausage sandwich also gets singled out. The dog friendly, cosy setting with outdoor seating out front comes up again and again, with several mentioning it's a sun trap good for watching the world go by, and one describes a lively Holy Saturday with a pizza pop-up and a reserved table for a busy night. Staff are called friendly across multiple visits. One reviewer's experience was mixed, describing slow service where drinks came quickly but food took a long wait despite the cafe being quiet, and finding the food menu a bit limited.

Featured reviews

  • Leon charlton
    “Amazing food, amazing coffee and great staff! Came in with a party of 5, including a toddler. Great atmosphere!”
  • Gavin Chapman-Galloway
    “Swung by here on a cold morning for a takeaway coffee. The coffee was great quality and really reasonably priced. I didn’t sit in, but the cafe was really clean and looked welcoming enough with plenty of seating and local art work. The food offerings looked great too but I’d just had breakfast. I’ll definitely be back.”
  • Hilton Riddex
    “All round great venue to visit. The outdoor seating in the front is a sun trap and sipping drinks in the sun and watching life pass by is great. The venue is dog friendly, so you can bring the furry family members. …”
  • C J
    “Nice little coffee shop! Have been in here a few times whilst getting repairs done to my bike along the road. Great tasting coffee, it's quite cosy inside so you won't always be able to get a seat at certain times of the day.”
  • Craig
    “I eat my fair share of sausage sandwiches, but the one I had today really hit the spot. …”
