What customers say?

“ Really great food, super cute surroundings, and lovely, helpful staff! I had the Cuban burrito, which was filled with delicious sweetcorn fritter, pulled pork and light, fluffy rice, all bundled up in a super fresh popped wrap. We also had the fish finger sandwich, which was very tasty and full of plump fish. To finish everything off, we went for the chocolate brownie (divine) and banana and walnut cake (light and moist) and a pot of tea, which came in a funky felted tea cosy. This place is highly recommended! ”

“ Lovely coffee shop with incredible food and the rose latte was so beautiful!! Comfy chairs and tables, a little small so not good for big groups but perfect for a cosy coffee/tea with 1-4 people ”

“ Very pleasant café come eatery. Had very nice chocolate and ginger cake with powerful ginger just what is needed when your chest is bad. Tea bit weak for me try 99 from The Coop. Not good if you have limited mobility as the seating area is up four or five steep steps. This place sells to take out. And there is am outside seating area if you can brave bad weather like my last visit ice snow and bitter wind. But would definitely come back. ”

“ Popped in this afternoon for a quick snack. I was served at the counter by a very cheerful girl, I didn't wait long for my food and went it arrived it was very tasty. I chose the crispy chicken and bacon wrap. In fact when another member of staff came to collect my empty plate and asked how my food was I actually said "that was bloody gorgeous" I will definately visit again. ”

- SUSAN HUNTLEY -

“ What a gorgeous place to visit! A very special menu with different, unusual combinations. We found it difficult to choose but enjoyed a shared salad and a sandwich each. Then we chose two beautiful puddings that I'd love to eat again. The service was great and the place was very cute and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit! ”
