"So overall, this place had a really nice ambiance and the staff were genuinely friendly, which made for a pleasant experience. The food and drinks were actually quite highly priced, but the quality it definitely felt worth it. Even though you might end up spending a little extra, especially around £2.50 or so for a particular can of coke,"

"Didn't actually eat here. It's not dog friendly as advertised on Google. But it looked lovely and the girls were very polite in asking me to leave as I strolled in with my dog. I would definitely return without my dog."

"My daughter and I absolutely love this cafe! The menu options are fab; my daughter loves the pancakes or pizza here, and I love, well, everything I’ve had so far! I’m so fussy about my latte, which they are always happy to accommodate. I’ve heard rave reviews about the chicken Caesar salad; I’m excited to try it since I’m trying to be healthier. The cakes are amazing; we usually take away because we’re stuffed. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Definitely recommend."
