Called in for the first time on my lunch break for a quick coffee and a bite to eat. I couldn't have been made to feel more welcome! The staff were so polite and caring and catered for my every need (extra strong coffee!). I had a egg mayo sandwich as it was a really hot day. The sandwich presentation was lovely and the cafe was spotlessly clean. The cafe provides food for just eat too which I would consider in the future. It's a lovely local cafe with very friendly staff and delicious food. I would most certainly return. Lovely local busines. Thank you for serving me so close to closing time!
