Visited twice now and each time had great coffee and food. I'm surprised at all the negative reviews on service. Yes the service could be better but I take my hat off to the guy behind the counter. All the different food and drinks they do he's running around doing everything. I'd like to see half of the people leaving bad reviews do that. I was very surprised and excellent service that he even whipped the cream for the scone it wasn't from a jar. Excellent all round I would highly recommend and would always visit.

We popped in for a quick drink and a scone before climbing back up the hill! The cafe was lovely and clean and the owner, very helpful and friendly. My oat latte was really nice, and the scone was beautifully light with plenty of jam and cream. I really cannot understand the negative reviews, as we thought everything was fantastic! Would definitely recommend

Wandered past this cafe the previous day and the waft of a bacon sarnie was too tempting hence a visit the following morning. The service was good considering they were on their own. Excellent cappuccino and latte. The all in one bap was fantastic : egg, bacon, sausage & black pudding. No need for sauces but the choice is there. Very filling brunch. Nice decor. Clean toilet.

Stopped here by chance on our last morning staying in the village. We couldn’t resist the big tasty breakfast baps! Good hearty food all round. The panini menu for lunch looked lovely too.

We loved this Cafe for breakfast, the owner was great, really friendly and made a best friend in my little 6 year old boy who wanted to go back and see him everyday ! Had the best sausage and egg sandwiches! Latte was lovely too. We will visit again
