Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the homemade cakes, with the coffee cake, lemon cake and carrot cake singled out as moist and delicious. Coffee gets steady praise too, from a cafetière pour to a cappuccino, alongside granola, a falafel wrap and a sausage and egg bap. Afternoon tea draws a warm response from a group celebrating a milestone birthday, who say the staff were friendly, nothing was too much trouble and gluten free needs were catered for. Another reviewer describes sandwiches, mini quiches and scones. Several mention walking around the village and garden before or after, and one notes a new car park opposite. The complaints are sharper than their number suggests. One reviewer called the afternoon tea poor, with mostly cheap factory products. Another described a diluted hot chocolate with curdled milk and a herbal tea served as English tea, both in paper mugs, with a requested replacement tea that never arrived. Others describe a warm welcome and a friendly woman working there.
