"In our opinion this is the best coffee shop in town. The photos do not do it justice. Their homemade scones and cakes are amazing and the coffee is so smooth and tasty. Since reopening after covid they have set up an excellent system with really tasteful clear dividers between the tables, there is a very robust cleaning/sanitising system in place using red/green cards on the tables to show which ones are ready. We visit on a regular basis and all of the staff are so friendly and efficient even whilst being busy."

"Great place, always great food and very friendly staff. Food is always served quickly. Now has screens up for social distancing and they've moved the till too. The stairwell can get a bit crowded especially as its very popular and gets a lot if customers. However its always a really nice place to go for a cuppa and scone or soup n sandwich."

"Visited with a wheelchair to get a take-away coffee, of course this was an issue as the cafe is upstairs! However, a lovely member of staff (with a great fringe!) kindly ordered upstairs for us and had it brought down. It was very nice and made our day."
