It was only after i had sat down and ordered the 'morning combo' of coffee and square sausage (other hot beverages and roll fillings are available) that i noticed how entirely inappropriately i was dressed for this place. Wearing my new ' oh my god Margaret its a hoody', ripped jeans and grubby vintage navy jacket i casually sauntered like the prole i am into this hotbed of hegemony, i could almost smell the new dfi sofas, recently built extensions and two car driveways. My first thought was i should steal something, my second was 'wow', i actually like this place.
Located in the upper floor of what appears to my laymen eyes as an old Victorian style building (white exterior walls with black wooden beams) this beautiful wee tea room offers quite a lovely place to grab a coffee and have a nosey. More of an old style tea room rather than coffee shop (read Costa; Starbucks), it offers the usual fare of breakfast and lunch snacks; sandwiches, soups, baked potatoes etc, along with some yummy looking cakes, biscuits, pies and other treats.
I have to say I'm a little surprised at myself in liking this place despite it being completely not my style. I think it has more to do with the interior of the cafe rather than anting else. High wooden beamed ceilings are combined with a vast old marble fire place and wooden mantle in addition to a wonderful massive old window basking the entire cafe in as much winter sun as is possible.
A definite if your into your quaint and fancy a tea, coffee, snack, cake or even just a questioning look from Margret...wear a hoody, i dare you!! read more
