Has some nice seating inside and an interesting range of sweet and savoury vegetarian items for sale inside. 26.5.23 called in to have nice soy latte and get takeaway raspberry danish for husband. Note board outside says free food tasting so I asked and was told Foie Gras. Fois Gras! I'm a vegetarian, so that's 'non' from me. 25.10 here for brunch and I had vegetarian galette (without egg) which was delicious!
