Lovely friendly little café where we stopped for lunch. Staff were attentive and friendly, it is Christmas time and they gave my little boy a chocolate to hang on our Christmas tree when we got home - one very happy four year old! Coffee, tea and toasties were great. Thank you

We picked this place at random for a snack lunch and it was a really good find. Food (and cakes!) were excellent. Good coffee and laid back vibe. Take note though that it's a "laptop free café"!

We had breakfast here and I've never eaten such perfect poached eggs! Beautifully clean, prompt service, good food....our only gripe was we could have eaten more! Thank you

Lovely café with very friendly staff and tasty food. Sandwiches, cakes, jackets, breakfasts etc. We had egg mayo and bacon sandwiches which is quite an unusual combo and it was excellent. Very relaxing atmosphere and comfy seating with about 8 tables inside and a few more outside (next to the road). Very quiet and they had signs up saying it was a laptop free café!

A great little place for a stop on a bike ride. Lovely cheeky, cheerful staff, giving out very friendly all round banter. Gives the place a great atmosphere. A great little cafe. I always try and stop here when I am passing through.
