I and my family visited here on 27th April as this will be my local cafe. What a lovely place and such friendly staff. You will be seeing a lot more of me. The coffee was great and the dog treat was demolished by my dog when I got home.

I loved the welcoming atmosphere of this café, it felt like accessibility was considered from the outset rather than an afterthought. The bathroom is accessible without feeling clinical. The space works well for pushchairs, wheelchairs and rollators, and the staff were welcoming and accommodating without hovering. Ideal meeting spot for family and friends.

Such a charming cafe with very lovely staff! The cappuccino was amazing and the food was extremely tasty and affordable. The staff made us feel welcomed and the place was spotless throughout. They is ample seating inside and a decent amount of seating outside of the cafe which is also under a canopy so you safe from all weather's. Highly recommend!
