Had breakfast here this morning and was greeted straight away with quick, friendly service. The food was fresh, delicious, and really well priced! The team are lovely—so welcoming and friendly. There’s lots of choice on the menu, and I’d definitely recommend this place. I’ll be back for sure! (I’d have added a photo, but I couldn’t wait to start eating!)

Not long got back from having breakfast at this cafe. It was a pleasant uplift from my usual breakfast stop. The workers made me feel welcome and comfortable with warm conversation. The establishment was super clean with not a spek in sight. Large breakfast minus black pudding was catered with extra hash brown to make up the difference ( voluntarily may I add ). All components of the food was hot and made to a high standard. Would most definitley recommend this place.

Perfect for an English Breakie! Like many other reviews say: a home away from home. The chef has been in the business for most of her life and cooks a very yummy breakfast. The staff were so friendly and we instantly felt welcome and well looked after! Thank you for having us! Highly recommend!

The lady who runs the place is very friendly and takes pride in her work from the cooking to the cleaning as the cafe looked immaculate.

Small and Quiet looking cafe, decided to stop for a sausage and bacon sandwich and it was really refreshing to see how good the quality of the ingredients were! We was also given the option on the thickness of the bread which was unique. The service was really quick and was not disappointed by the friendly staff. I definitely recommend the cafe if you’re looking for a good quality and filling breakfast. Ten out of ten.

The best cafe around! Super clean, quick service, and always welcoming. Perfect spot for us van drivers, builders, and contractors to grab a solid breakfast or lunch without any fuss. Great prices, generous portions, and you can tell they care about customers. Easily the cleanest and friendliest cafe in the area. Highly recommend!
