Reviews Overview

Most Liked

Guests absolutely adore the inviting and friendly atmosphere. The coffee here receives rave reviews; many say it’s among the best in the area. The desserts perfectly balance sweetness and indulgence, making them a must-try. The breakfast and brunch menus stand out, especially the full breakfast options featuring fluffy pancakes and savory bacon. Customers love the affordability, with many finding it hard to beat the quality for prices that hover around £1 to £10. As a bonus, the café caters well to kids, making family outings enjoyable.

Most Disliked

Some patrons mention that the cafe can get busy, especially during weekend brunch hours, leading to longer wait times. The café’s small size may not accommodate large groups comfortably. Additionally, while most dishes are loved, a few diners felt that certain menu items lacked seasoning, suggesting that enhancements to flavor could make meals even better. The reservation system isn't always utilized; this sometimes leads to a scramble for tables during peak times.
