Excellent coffee and food, really well priced too. Friendly, welcoming staff and the outdoor seating area is lovely, a garden like theirs is totally unexpected in the location!! This place is a real hidden gem.

Have been here twice with a group of 12 for coffee.... coffee was lovely ... sitting in the back room it was possible to hear everyone but if you sit in the Cafe it is very noisy and impossible to hear anyone! Shame...
