Everything about this independent place is perfect. Y'know the way there's whiskey and then there's…read morewhiskey sorta think Jameson's and then ya have the 22 year old small batch about 12 times the price then ya have the 2007 rarest vintage at a mere £1300 a bottle. Similarly there's coffee and then there's coffee. Here ain't a Starbucks or Costa place as this coffee is ace quality, complex, deep, small batch, shade grown, carefully made and exquisite. The staff are friendly, care for community and the environment, don't have greedy shareholders who only care for loadsa money and it has a delightful ambiance. So not just five stars but five green stars to boot. Really worth supporting.

It was snowing heavily outside. It was drifting too and just 1 centigrade with a south westerly…read moregale blowing. So we settled in, warm, and thought we weren't going outside but it took only one photograph - chocolate covered strawberries. Our son had seen them on the Velveteen Facebook and had ordered them up for his Valentine with an afternoon tea box. Ooh it was a Homer S moment. Must have....must have. I thought I was back in the carribean with Norwegian Cruises and cruise director Nelson was looking after us again. Oh well we are such stuff as dreams are made. Anyway that did it. On went the layers and headgear and gloves. Out into the wild snowscape, feet scrunching and sinking down into the soft snow. By the time I got to the delightful V Rabbit they'd sold out of the choccy strawberries, damn and blast nevertheless we got a £10 treat box with all sorts of sweet treats, cakes, tarts and scones and we got cappuccino £2.5. Everything in here is home-made and proper made. Not at all like the cakes from the industrial bakeries we have along Hill Street but how you would make it at home. The photos show the goodie box and separately a small lemon drizzle cake and a piece of Victoria sponge. The lemon drizzle was perfect. The Victoria sponge picture is half the portion as we split it between two. These are really scrummy cakes and I remember that taste from years ago. Victoria sponge made properly, in particular, has a distinctive unique taste and texture. I'm glad I went. I sure wasn't disappointed. I would have liked the chocolate covered strawberries but hey ho some other time.

I really don't know what's going on with Yelp as I've added this place twice and I've written two…read morereviews so far yet it shows that it's not been reviewed. So here goes my review number three. The last one from me so if it doesn't stay on it's tough, I'm done. It's a cheap and cheerful UK headquartered industrial bakery that offers high fat, high salt, high sugar savoury and sweet foods. It also nods to health with some salads and healthy drinks. They offer a breakfast deal of coffee and sausage, bacon or egg bread rolls. The basic price for a cappuccino and bacon roll with your choice of HP or Heinz tomato sauce is a stonking £2. You can add sausage and or egg to the bacon roll for a pound or so more. In short the best deal in town. There's a baguette breakfast deal that's £3. I've had quite a few so far as it's hard to refuse such a darn good deal. The servers are always a friendly bunch and I've got Greggs app which makes paying hassle free. I've not done lunch here and I doubt I will. Cheap and cheerful is ok at brekky.

I was in Greggs in the Buttercrane today Wednesday 21/08/2019. The floor was dirty the tables we're…read moredirty, one person serving twenty people waiting in the queue to get served hygiene was disgusting it has to be said.

This is a first for me. A Wu flu review at a distance; so I didn't actually go in the door, nor did…read moreI choose the foodie goodies, nor can I comment on the prices as I don't know them. I'll explain: we are locked down at home and can't go out. So a week or so ago, knowing our plight, two of our friends arrived at our door with two cappuccinos from this female owned business and stood well back from our front door (other friends sent us flowers). The lady owner of this place has maintained food and coffee service six days a week (not Sunday) all over lockdown from a serving hatch. Fair play to her. I wasn't going to do a review just on two cappuccinos even though they were very good cappuccinos. I'd gone to this business a few times over the years but it was long ago. Today changed the dynamic when our friends arrived once more with two cappuccinos and two sausage rolls and stood well back. Now I'm fussy about sausage rolls and I'm conscious that those with less scruples know they can get away with very cheap, fatty 'meat' and cheap fat laden anaemic looking barely cooked pastry. If you are local and you want to try cheap to make (but not cheap to buy) industrially made sausage rolls go to the Shelbourne bakery. So back to this place. I was sceptical about the sausage rolls and my scepticism was totally misplaced. They were delicious. The sausage meat did not taste at all cheap or fatty. We heated them and the aroma was lovely. The spice kick was about right - really good taste - and the best surprise of all our friends said that the owner makes them herself and together with minced pork she had added chorizo, goats cheese and jalapeño. This is what happens when a business concentrates on quality first on what they are making to sell, rather than simply being only interested in maximising profit regardless by making food as cheap as possible while staying legal. The sausage roll pastry too was delicious. It was light, golden. flavoursome and moreish. So we've become instant fans. The owner usually has a blackboard out front with a joke or an acerbic comment and she sure has a healthy, cheeky sense of humour - her observation style is more akin to how Chrissy Teigen recently expressed the (thankfully ex) President Trump years rather than Plato. I think Ms Teigen held back and was tame.

We nipped in here for a tray-bake and a cuppa, the atmosphere is nice, service is quick and…read morefriendly and the price is great (that door-stop sized piece of white chocolate and aero bar was shared between 3 people!). Will definitely be back in here before we head State-Side and next time I'll try some 'real food' before dessert. Food is all fresh from fresh ingredients and the wee 'shap' at the front has lots of stuff to pick up on the way out, there's even Slimming World friendly options on the menu - healthy selections that I'm told, are delicious!
