Very relaxed atmosphere. Lovely coffee. Yummy cakes. Easy parking opposite. Easy to find as it’s next to the traffic lights.

i believe this is a relatively recent addition to the high street, and you can tell it's quality food and great service with just one visit. i was passing through while waiting for my car to be worked on nearby and was able to pass a few hours here while getting a bit of work done. friendly owner and quick service! the near future plans i'm told are for more food options which will be nice to come back and have a bigger meal!

The Italian toastie was the best tostie I’ve had in a long time. The sourdough was toasted to a perfect golden brown and looked so good I forgot to take a photo before I started eating .

Went in for Birthday Breakfast (76) on Sunday, had a delicious sausage bap, complete with apple slices and crisps on the side, very pleasant extras. Love this place, informal, great selection of delicious looking bakery products, and comfortable seating. Colouring in available for the kids too.
