Customer Review Summary

Coffee draws the most praise, with one group calling the tea and coffee the best they had had for ages and another describing a vanilla latte as spot on. Close behind is the mac and cheese with crispy bacon, called one of the cheesiest a reviewer has had. Staff are friendly. One scooter user found the back gate ramp too narrow, leaving a rear wheel in mid air.

    “First time here. Ok for a wheelchair. I had a chocolate brownie, which was delicious. Also, a coffee. My wife found a vegan cake and had an americano. We were with a group of friends who all said the tea and coffee was the best they had had for ages. The staff were great. Helpful and friendly. Very nice inside and outside. I would recommend. Need to add an update. I had to use my scooter on our last visit. Came through the back gate rather than drive through the cafe. To get down the very inadequate ramp was difficult to say the lease. Almost tipped off as the turn is too tight and the ramp is not wide enough ending up with one of the rear wheels in mid air. Just needs a wider ramp to fix this. I could try crutches but having no balance going down a ramp is somthing I will not risk .”

    “This is our favourite breakfast place. The chorizo bagel was absolutely bangin'. A personal favourite is the banana bread porridge in the winter months as well. Whole heartedly recommend!”
