Small little shop selling sourdough products which we popped into a couple of weeks ago. We arrived at lunchtime on a Friday and by this time they had already sold out a lot of their items, and there were no more seats available, so maybe not to best time to leave a review but hey!

A small cafe with lots of bread to buy and take home.
