I have visited Cafe Lilli twice now, the first time for an evening meal with my husband and the…read moresecond for lunch with a large group of female friends. When my husband and I had dinner there I thought that my meal of pasta in a pesto and pice nut sauce was absolutely delicious, although to be fair the portion size wasn't quite big enough for me! My husband was not impressed with his meal at all; he had pasta in a salmon sauce and he didn't like it! He's not a big fish man really but in his opinion this seemed to be the least fussy meal on the menu! I've always tried to persuade him to return but he always finds an escuse! The second time I visited I had the same meal again, which was again delicious, and just the right size for a lunch. I followed this up with a delicious pudding of pannacotta which was one of the nicest I've had anywhere. I would really recommend Cafe Lilli myself; I thought that the menu was reasonably priced, the service was great and the wine list extensive.

The waitresses even dress the part with their dresses, makeup and hair perfectly quaffed. The food; well, I was pleasantly surprised.

Well expect that it's too far from Miami, Florida. But when in Hartlepool England check this place out for afternoon tea with great Hartlepool charm Prewar. Don't worry you'll be transported back to present times once you get the bill. Not incredibly pricey but not incredibly cheap either I'd say it's reasonable for the food, service and charm. Enjoy.

Easily accessible off the a1 with free parking and I can even do my weekly food shopping in the farm shop. The thing i love the most about brambles coffee shop are the daily specials and the brambles club sandwich. this place has a wonderful atmosphere, not like you usual fast food coffee shops, more like a restaurant but with very cheap prices. you can eat and drink for under £5 easily and be well fed with huge portions. In summer you can not beat sitting outside in the sunshine at brambles. this place can get extremely busy and must do tremendously well. thats why they have decided to build a large extension i suppose but it just shows what good friendly service, good comfy atmosphere and good value tasty food can do. I can highly recommend the paninis or the prawn salad. the salads are very large so go hungry first.

It has a very friendly atmosphere, it wasn't that busy when we went in, but people kept coming and going on a regular basis as we sat and had lunch. Overall I was very pleased with service, and the quality of the food. There is a relatively small selection of different things to eat, but the things that they do serve have many different fillings/topping to choose from. For 3 people, lunch with drinks, came to under £15 which i thought was quite good, taking into account the quality of the food, and the amount of it. This shop is a nice place to be, the music isn't to loud, and the chairs are very comfortable. What I was impressed with most was, even though it is a premises that serves food and drink, they still allowed my mums guide dog puppy in, even though lots of places frown upon it unless the dog has properly been trained.
