  “We stopped here for refreshments (my wife and I with our 8 year old son). We had a lovely coffee each and james choose a fresh banana shake and a slice of coffee cake. Absolutely divine and a well earned treat on our canal bike ride. Great location right on the canal”

  “As another review mentioned, could be a gem, great location, parking, next to canal, etc etc. Unfortunately it falls short of the mark. Unsteady tables covered in off grey plastic covers with dirty chairs. Kids pot full of broken crayons and had to hunt for the kids picture for my daughter to do. Coffee was good, but that was it. Cake was sickly sweet and the one I wanted “frozen” but took a long conversation with the mumbling staff to work that out. Massive shame. Update. Odd response. I did rate the food as three. Coffee good. Rest not. 3 seems fair. My issue wasn’t with a “frozen” cake. It’s that you had a cake out that could not be served. My point stands. Ref the comments about games, “free” bits of paper and pencils, a bit bizarre to be honest. Pencils were a mess, no staff brought anything over for my 2 year old and you have a curious pride in the tatty games trolley. No mention of mumbly staff, lack of service (I had to walk up and order myself) or wobbly tables, but that’s fine. I’m wrong of course and leaving an honest review has clearly caused ire but makes no difference. I won’t be back in a hurry.”

  “We visited today and there were only about eight tables seated but still had to wait just under an hour for our sandwiches. The poor girl front of house said it was due to the morning backlog and only two people allowed in the kitchen. I've no idea how they can cater for a full house with an extensive menu. Everyone there was incredibly unhappy with the slow service and we should've gone with our first instinct (after hearing the complaints) to give it a pass, so that's definitely on us. Food was ok, average at best.”

  “Such a shame. This place could be amazing but the quality of food is pretty terrible if I’m honest. Our daughter loves a burger, she took one bite of this “burger” and said it’s yuk. Very cheap quality meat. My partner’s meal was another story. Lack of gluten free options The young lady who served us was very well versed in dealing with complaints it seemed and we were refunded part of the meal. If you are in any rush or super hungry I would avoid.”

  “What an absolutely amazing place. We had our Anniversary party here and I cannot fault anything. Everything was lovely from the service, food, ambiance and the staff. I would definitely recommend any celebration here as the set up is amazing and the girls who run the place are brilliant.”

  “Found this place today and it could be a little gem. Lovely eating areas and great location by the canal. First off, went to the bar area and ordered 2 beers. Even though the bottles of beer and the glasses were directly behind the staff member, and would have taken less than a minute to pour and hand them to me, I was asked where we were sitting and the drinks would be brought to us. Which they were, 25 long minutes later! We then ordered a double smash burger and their New York Reuben. We waited for an hour and eventually a waitress appeared with our meals. She headed straight to the wrong table that had 4 diners waiting for their food. One had ordered the Reuben but none had ordered the burger. Even with us 2 waving and calling to the waitress that the order was for us, she handed them the Reuben and disappeared with the burger. The lady given our order then had to eat it alone, as there was no food ready for the other 3. In the meantime we got another 2 beers from the bar, this time insisting they hand it to us immediately, which for some reason, they were reluctant to do, but did. Eventually, even though at this point we're the only diners there along with the table of 4, our meals arrive. 'Sorry, but I gave that table your meal' said the waitress. Yes, we noticed! I take a bite of my burger, which I find is just 2 burgers with a slice of processed cheese in a brioche bun. The menu description is including lettuce and tomato. I ask the waitress if they've run out of salad. 'Yes we have' she replies and walks off. On the plus side, the New York Reuben was delicious. We appreciate it was a bank holiday and maybe there were more customers than usual, but please let us get a drink at the bar if you're over run, not make us wait 25 minutes. And surely, let us know if you dont have the ingredients required before serving it short. Lovely place, shame about the service.”

  “Lovely cafe in one of my favourite places, great coffee, great choice for breakfast, proper sough dour bread, nice bacon. Excellent service for our large group. I should really visit more often. Lots of choice on the menu. When the weather is good, great sitting outside, it’s a sun trap in the mornings. Forgot to take pics as too busy enjoying myself with friends.”

  “Everything was perfect, nice people, great food. The ambience is also very calming, I liked the various type of chairs picking.. The only downside is that we been asked to wait for the table service order and waited too long for it. Upon asking back we been realized to ask what we’d like. We ordered an extra chip they forgot it but also happily offered the refund so all great ;) I defo recommend here..”

  “Nice place for coffee n cake. We had hot chocolate, coffee and salted caramel brownie. Brownie was very delicious. Coffee and hot chocolate were good as well. Staff is very nice and helpful. Atmosphere was beautiful, small flower pots on every table with the table number written on them was very cute and creative. Would like to go again.”
