Visited this Cafe during the latest pandemic wave a week before Christmas. Even though many cafes…read morein the town were packed, the proprietors decided on a Take away only service, which we thought was prudent, appropriate and socially responsible in light of prevailing conditions. This Take away service was not at the expense of the planet as they readily accepted our reusable cups for our Take away order. The icing on the cake was that the variety of coffee had a lovely nutty tinge. All I can say is exemplary.

Their cream teas come with real clotted cream all year round, and with a good healthy dollop of it too - no skimping on the portions at Kim's! Lunch is served until 3, so get there in time for one of their enormous and delicious sandwiches.

There are over forty types of tea to choose from, from all over the world - green teas, Kenyan teas, Russian teas - so it is best to sit there all day trying out different cuppas. There are actually affordable cream teas with lots of cream and jam, toasted teacakes, lots of other cakes and savoury food too. Newspapers for people like me who sit there for hours. It opens onto public gardens so children can play while you rest. The perfect English tea shop!

We stopped in for a coffee on the recommendation of a relative. The coffee was nice enough, the…read moreservice was friendly. They seemed to be doing a brisk trade in brunches, with the cook busy flipping eggs and bacon on his grill. The place has a nice atmosphere and obviously does a good trade. What we did find off-putting was the lack of suitable ventilation in the kitchen. There was a thin haze of greasy smoke throughout the seating area and we could smell the fried food on our clothes when we left This wouldn't normally put me off, but She Who Must Be Obeyed definitely wouldn't go back. Shame, really.

The service is lacklustre and cold and the food is little better than canteen fare. The lentil soup on offer was brought out within minutes and the quality was reminiscent of the canned variety. The place becomes a Turkish restaurant by night and perhaps that is where the specialities lie. The actually café is really nice and with a little work it could become a great place to escape the winter chill, but for now you best searching out one of the tastier options.

I'm not a dessert fan myself but friends highly recommend them. While the prices may be a little high you get a lot for your money. The service isn't bad, but isn't amazing. The cafe is quite small, and while it has additional seating upstairs you often have to wait. However, I would agree with Matt's review that it's never for long. I would definately recommend Cafe Cou Cou. I always take friends who are visiting from out of town and they love it.

Same goes for their cups; they look like they came straight out of a charity shop. Cute, but a bit kitsch. The staff were friendly and welcoming. It was full up whilst we were there, and a bit loud. Many tables had children. As for our drinks, my mocha was good but ordinary. Not particularly hot, but drinkable. My husband's hot chocolate was a bit too cool for him; he wasn't very happy. We will likely be back to try their food, but might stick with tea.
