Customer Review Summary
Breakfast draws the most praise, with the avocado on toast topped with poached egg and the Eggs Benedict with runny yolks both singled out, alongside the omelette one diner called lovely. Coffee comes close behind, from a large latte one self-described coffee snob rated the best she'd had since arriving in the UK, to the Turkish coffee served with Turkish Delight and a cappuccino praised for arriving hot and just right. Sweets earn their own mentions too, with the cinnamon bun and banana loaf both called out as highlights, and tea and cakes reviewers recommend the coconut and raspberry cake, though one notes prices can be a bit steep. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and accommodating, adjusting portion sizes on request and handling a child's sensory dietary needs with attentiveness. Diners mention limited hot food near closing on a Sunday, when only toasts were available. Reviewers close on gestures like being sent home with free cinnamon buns and being served without feeling rushed even near closing time.

“I’m an Australian and…… (don’t judge us) we are coffee snobs. Australia has some of the best coffee and baristas in the world! So I am DELIGHTED to say: The latte I had here this morning (large with an extra shot) is by far, the best coffee I’ve had since I arrived in the UK a bit over a month ago. Thank you!!!”

“I Called in this morning, I wasn't very hungry, but I looked at the menu and The Sukuk looked Amazing but a large plate. I asked if I could have a smaller portion, this wasn't a problem, and so worthwhile when it came it was just the right amount for me and it tasted wonderful. I will definitely come back when I'm more hungry and order the original size. The Capachino was perfect nice and hot just how I like it. Service was amazing.”

“Sadly we arrrived with only 30mins to clising on a Sunday so no hot meals available, just toasts,. We chose Avacado on toast with poached egg, it arrived, 2 full slices of toast covered in mashed avacao with a poached egg on both slices! Yummy!. Daughters ooted for paninis, 1 x tuna 1 x cheese, both arrived well presented with side salad. 2 hot drinks. Very friendly girls serving and preparing food, very accommodating! We left happy and filled on time without feeling rushed. Well done girls and still they smiled!! 😁👍 xx”

“Super cafe. Plenty of seating indoors and out. There is off-street parking. Tried the Turkish coffee, which came with a little cube of Turkish Delight. The Eggs Benedict were perfectly cooked with runny yolks. Excellent breakfast spot, great service. If this review was helpful please give it a like below.”

“I had a wonderful experience at your cafe. The space was spacious and comfortable, making it a great place to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. The quality of the food truly stood out — you can tell that great care goes into selecting fresh, high-quality ingredients. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. The service was equally impressive. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I arrived. Their warm attitude really added to the overall experience. It’s clear that you take pride in both your food and your customer service, and it makes a real difference. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending your cafe to others.”
