What visitors say
Lovely selection of food, friendly caring staff and great location - cool in warm weather and warm when cold outside. No music so a pleasant change, although there is a piano in the corner and soft furnishings would help with the echo with louder noises. Kids area and dogs welcome...

Great little cafe. Best scone I’ve had in a long time, delicious panini and great service. Dog friendly too.

Friendly and approachable people who take pride in the simple, sleek and minimalist presentation of the cafe. Coffee and chai are well worth the stop. Dogs allowed , children with their parents encouraged in the play area. Toilets clean with toddler steps at the hand basin. Kitchen immaculate. Would be a great place for small groups as well. Mess cleaned up immediately in the cafe area. Noise level may change with a lot of people but it is a happy place and I look forward to revisiting in next year. The lighting is subtle and suited to it's minimal environment. Didn't order food but it looks amazingly fresh and is covered with small glass partitions and cloches. Best coffee, which came with a complimentary biscuit, so far we have tasted in 5 weeks in the UK. So far there is no set menu or meals yet but at time of writing will be introduced in the near future. The business is GLUTEN FREE and allergy aware with a couple of choices available now and more expected in the future.

We jumped off the steam train, two hour wait for next one, and no plans. What a find! Bright, spacious and welcoming, with such friendly service. I had soup with a delicious cheese scone and my son had a halloumi wrap which he enjoyed, followed by a Aero slice. We stayed for an hour and a half reading and writing a journal, it was busy with families with small children (beans on toast hugely popular!) but chilled enough to relax. Highly recommend...
