For the last couple of weeks, I've been walking by this coffee shop at warp speed on my way to and from work ever since it opened just after New Year. I've often slowed down long enough to peer longingly in the window, drawn in by the impressive shop front, admiring the comfy warm interior and awesome cakes. This shop boasts a fine selection of tasty, sweet treats. They don't appear to serve anything savoury, so this would be perfect for anyone like me with a sweeter than sweet tooth.
When I sauntered up to the counter, I was greeted by a lovely server behind the counter who was happy to engage in a wee bit of banter. Unfortunately, they didn't have any non-dairy alternatives to milk, so I couldn't have a hot chocolate, but as they had a nice selection of tea I wasn't too bothered. Confronted with the choice of so many beautifully presented home made desserts, I was stumped. After ogling the plethora of dainty delectables behind the glass for some time, I finally ordered me a nice Caramel Apple Pie and a strawberry / mango tea and settled to chill out with my book for a wee while. Total price? The handy dandy price of £3! Fantastic!
According to the shop window, this lovely new establishment also provides cakes to order, including wedding cakes. They're definitely worth a wee look in if you're ever in the area. Support the purveyors of perfect pastries! :P read more
