Nice cafe, beautiful surroundings next to the boating lake at Alexandra Park, the best view of any cafe in Oldham town centre hands down. Seating outside at the front, overlooking the lake, is wonderful in summer. The breakfast butties (sausage bacon egg etc muffins) are very good, the large size is really big, enough for 2 people, or one person who is really starving. I didn't give 5 stars however, because there could be a wider range of low calorie fizzy drinks please. When I am hot and sweaty after a Parkrun (every Saturday at 9am, best Parkrun in the world, in our own beautiful park) I am hankering after an ice cold diet drink.

The setting is great as the cafe is by a lake and on a nice day it is very nice to sit outside and have a drink and something to eat. I think that if the staff had a better attitude then this would be a wonderful place. Until then, only 2 stars. Food is fine if just a bit on the expensive side. Could be miles miles better. They also do good work supporting people. Come on guys, get...
