One of the best Full English breakfasts I’ve ever eaten. Delicious coffee too

Great experience. Great coffee. The flatbreads are a real highlight, especially the homemade pesto on the chicken one. Everything was cooked to perfection. For those who don’t like coriander, the aubergine dish is not for you! Otherwise no complaints. The atmosphere is great, very child friendly and it feels like all the staff and customers are happy to be there. We’ll be back!

Such a cute little find!! Lovely spaces inside and outside, great ranged menu and reasonable prices. I highly recommend the Asian style tofu flatbread, was probably the tastiest tofu I’ve ever had!!

The 3rd time we’ve been and the food were all delicious! I just love how they make all their vegetarian dishes so tasty and flavourful. The coffee was so good I wish I could make the same at home! We have used their children play place for a very small fee. I’m glad we found this cafe as its very challenging to have a sit down meal when you have kids.

Really lovely cafe that I wish I'd known about sooner. Plenty of excellent quality vegan options and very reasonable. Soft drinks were slightly pricey but everything else was very well priced. Will definitely be back

Great food, as always. I tried a new dish from their new menu. All the greens on toast made for a delicious breakfast - it had a really nice creamy butterbean base, a subtle kick of citrus tang, perfect amount of saltiness from the feta, crunch from the seeds, with a good hearty amount of veg and I loved that crispy kale! Love that they have so many gluten-free options on the menu. A 5/5 and will be back for more!
