Called in here for some coffee today for the first time I'm gradually working my way around every cafe in the area!!
It's very clean, with small wooden tables (some square, others round) and wooden chairs, plus a few small armchairs, either leather or faux leather. There are also some high bar stools on the left as you go in, resting against a high counter in the window.
It's waitress service, which I hadn't expected you can pay afterwards at the till - and the staff seem very nice indeed. There are attractive pictures on the walls and a blackboard for extras not in the menu.
The coffee is excellent and cheaper than in many places I've been recently. A lovely frothy latte in a tall glass, with some butter tablet (a bit like fudge) on the side, is £1.80; an Americano in a large cup, £1.50. There are many other hot drinks available including tea of course, and hot chocolate with marshmallows.
You can have breakfast between 8.00am and 12.00, from a cooked full meal to banana toasties; there are many options for light lunches including baked potatoes, panini, and baguettes. There are daily 'specials' at reduced prices, like soup & baguette, or coffee & scone (£1.95)
A few more vegetarian options would be nice perhaps a cooked veggie breakfast, or at least some imaginative fillings for the baked potatoes at lunchtime. There seems to be a delicious range of cakes but I didn't try any today!
For people in a hurry, there's a service offered where they can place an order by phone and it will be ready to collect or eat in.
You'll find the cafe on the corner of the street and there's very good disabled access (including wheelchairs). I'll definitely visit again as the coffee was extremely good! read more
