Customer Review Summary

Reviewers repeatedly praise the mac and cheese with bacon, called cheesy and delicious, alongside coffee and lattes singled out as consistently good. The soup of the day and vegan cake also get mentions, and staff are described as friendly and accommodating. One reviewer using a mobility scooter reports the back ramp was too narrow and steep, nearly tipping their chair.

    “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 .”

    “Had a lovely late lunch-vanilla latte and mac and cheese with crispy bacon. Hands down one of the cheesiest mac n cheese I have had. It was delicious, thoroughly recommend eating and drinking there. Could not fault it whatsoever. Staff were friendly and the coffee was spot on.”

    “Lovely little cafe right next to children's playground (heads up it can be crowded and noisy if you're looking for peace and quiet) and we had a swan companion as we sat outside to have our meals! The soup of the day was hearty and …”

    “Nice coffee. Good indoor and outdoor space. Clean and bright with a broad selection of cakes and hot food. Bought a coffee and two kids' cartons, server spotted a straw missing and saved me a grumpy child.”
