Great service by pleasant and good natured staff. Was really pleased to be able to order items on the breakfast menu well after midday. A very individual and interesting place to meet. Cakes looked good but will have to return one afternoon to sample them !

Love this coffee shop!! Great food, staff are amazing! My daughter has fatal food allergies and the lady with reddish/brown curly hair couldn't have done more for us. She went above and beyond to find us something my daughter could safely eat! My son is on the spectrum and is very picky with food, again she went above and beyond to help us with finding something he would eat! Wonderful place to go. Family friendly, such a welcoming place, and also will do their utmost to accommodate wheelchairs (my mum is in one). I truly enjoy this coffee shop with my family and never feel out of place here!

Beautiful coffee shop situated on the high street. Stunning and relaxing garden. The coffee and food is amazing and they have an excellent selection of seasonal drinks. The staff are warm and welcoming and the prices are reasonable too. Beautiful setting.

It's nice, the food is mostly delicious and perfect for lunch or just a coffee. I like the outside area, the gardens and the ponds. Downside is that it isn't a great place to go with children, it's often crowded and the toilet and upstairs lounge is a bit grotty. But for the nice food it's worth it.

Great spot for a coffee and a chat, but next time I'm ordering breakfast! It looks amazing! Edited to add... Been back for lunch, it was great! Just a fish finger sandwich, but homemade tartar sauce and nice salad
