I really like this coffee shop. It offers more substantial food then coffee and cake but I have not yet ventured beyond such fare. The cakes come in very large portions and are delicious. On my most recent visit I had a large slice of coffee cake with a cappuccino. It was so filling that I struggled to finish it. It also came with a large dollop of cream on the side.

Plenty of seats indoors and outdoors. I'd definitely come again if I was...
Read moreJust paid £9.70 for 3 bits of streaky bacon (even tho I asked for 2 rashers of bacon) and 2 eggs slapped in a box along side 2 bits of bread.
