"Very lovely place and owner. I came in with my daughter this morning. We had a babycino, latte and two sausage sandwiches. Even gave my daughter two biscuits for free at the end. Very kind and we will be back! Highly recommended and spacious!"

"**added a star for the good response ** Service is very nice. Friendly staff. The place looks a bit messy and could do with a good sort out/ revamp. Outside table tops could do with a wipe down. Coffee was ok, not the best but ok. Food was nice enough, bagel nice and chewy. Reasonable choice of breakfasts, sandwiches, and cakes. There is parking at the front on the road and a car park round the back near Waitrose. I will come again as the service was nice."
