I visited there with my husband. We had a trip to discover outside London. For a break we had our coffee there. I loved the coffee. Friendly staff. Highly recommended ...

Lovely service, very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Great menu and reasonable prices (27 for 3 panini and 3 coffee). Could have done with a bit more pesto on panini filling but otherwise perfect.

Such a nice, tiny little corner cafe. Bit like Italy. They have very nice biscuits.

Went for lunch today with my daughters and had an excellent experience. Between us we had a pizza, pasta and a salad dish, all were really tasty and just the right portion sizes. The service was as always lovely. Reasonably priced with drinks at about 31
