Popped in for a coffee but ended up getting toastie and a brownie and wasn’t disappointed! Both were really yummy, and the staff were so friendly. Such a nice place to relax and grab something tasty. Highly recommend giving it a try. 😊
Aidan Mytton, 3 months agoVery nice place to sit and enjoy a coffee and a snack quietly. Beautiful atmosphere very enjoyable coffee and muffin. Has outside area also. Just for information I did not notice any toilet facilities available.
