We had some amazing food in the café and then purchased some lovely wine and cheese and beautiful homemade apricot chutney on the way out. The couple that own the business are the friendliest and kindest people and had a wonderful scene of humor and we chatted for ages I left feeling like I have known them forever.

If you're not very hungry (the portions are generous) you can opt for individual cookies, financiers, macaroons and madelines. The prices are really reasonable too and you can soak up some culture as the large seating area is decorated with local artists' works that are (mostly) for sale.
