Lured in by irresistible social media images, we came for a sweet lunch with the kids. Would we be back? Yes, but with a caveat. The coffee, surroundings and cakes are amazing. The service mostly lovely too. But the food, it was lacking. It always pinches when seemingly all the element of a menu item are purchased and merely assembled (correct me if wrong, but that’s how it appeared and ate). See bagel, peanut butter and banana. It did what it said on the tin, but it was unrefined, average, unexceptional. Fortunately the price point kind of gave you fair warning of that. But still, you expect something more.

Read moreI ordered some brownies on a whim to be delivered and oh my goodness this will not be my last order. Everything from start to finish was fantastic. I ordered via the website link from instagram and received a message straight away thanking me. I was kept up to date with prompt emails and when they arrived (within three working days so quicker than promised) the packaging was gorgeous with a best by date and Thankyou card. To say the items had been posted you'd have thought I'd just got them fresh from the bakery. The brownies were just the right amount of gooey and absolutely delicious I cannot wait to order for my friends and family and of course get a cheeky treat for myself. Unfortunately I didn't manage to get a photo before these brownies had been...
