Customer Review Summary

Diners most often return for the fresh, homemade brunch, singling out the avocado on toast as a standout. Close behind are the cold-pressed juices, with pineapple, lime, apple, cucumber and spinach frequently named, and the wide cake selection, which reviewers call a treat. The vegetarian and vegan options, healthy salads, and smoothies also draw consistent praise, as does the coffee. Several describe the atmosphere as unique and welcoming, with walls decorated by old doors, and note the friendly, accommodating staff. A few mention the café gets very busy, with several suggesting booking ahead to avoid disappointment. One reviewer reports the staff arranged a special touch for a birthday.

    I love Planks and as it's not local to where we live, it's been awhile since our last visit. Booking is recommended it's a very busy place. Called for lunch and ordered two juices of the day, pineapple, lime, apple, cucumber and spinach …
  • jemma R
    I can't rave about this hidden gem enough. Good selection of food, all prepared fresh and all meal choices plentiful. The drink and cake selection also matches this. Reasonable prices, great atmosphere, friendly staff and the little touches do make it a really beautiful place to either catch up or unwind
  • Laura Sylvester
    I absolutely love it here. The menu is always incredible, so many great vegetarian and vegan options, lots of healthy salads and selection of cakes. The staff always go above and beyond to accommodate you and the place itself is simply stunning. So rustic, grounding and feel good. Highly highly recommend. Situated in a lovely, peaceful area too.

How this listing is sourced

Where the data comes from
Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
How it stays current
Listings are re-checked in batches against their public profile, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
How it is ranked
Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
