Visited the cafe for the first time yesterday, lovely staff and delicious food and coffee! The shop has a great atmosphere with the plants and music. (The music was not too loud at all, I had my sleeping baby with me and it didn’t bother or wake her at all) Only let down for me was the two rude women who were there at the same time as me, they were very rude to the lovely staff, rolling their eyes and sniggering at the staff when they were trying to serve them. Enjoyed my visit so much I went back today for lunch with my mum will definitely be back

Food is fuego, service to match. Quaint little spot with a lot more going on than can be absorbed on a quick stroll past. Local as it gets, property prices should sky rocket off the strength

What a lovely shop! I am so happy I came across this Aladdin’s cave! Filled with all the best local produce, fresh, frozen and everything in between, served with the brightest smile.! So great to feel so welcomed in a store. I even managed to have time to grab a quick coffee which is by far the best I’ve had in a long time, and a to die for club sandwich!! I’ll definitely be back with my mum for a sit down coffee catch up and buy some things for dinner.!
