Very cute little cafe. Only room for about 10 tables. Lovely atmosphere, quaint decorations and healthy menu options. Can get very busy on the weekends but the do offer take away drinks. Menu options were plenty with veggie and healthy options. Reasonably priced. Had a little train set going round near the ceiling with was very fun. Toilets located down stairs. Would definitely recommend

Good food with focus on build your own style foods. The protein options are some thing different. Coffee is good and staff n atmosphere are spot on. Adding extras to dishes is a little steep £2.00 for a dollop of greek yogurt. But overall was very good.

Best bacon sandwich in town ? Lovely Baltzersen’s sourdough. Nice little side of mixed salad. Good coffee. Friendly, relaxed. Good for both push chairs and oldies

Lovely wonder place. Tentative friendly staff. Stupendous food with lots of options/varieties. Went for the protein pancakes, with bacon, fruit and honey. Delicious. Had a take away muesli bar due to cycling. No photo, but it was equally scrumptious. Wait was questionable, though, seems to be the one chef who is producing some fine food, so happy to take in the atmosphere.

Great little find this weekend. Really good food, as well as drinks options. A lot of the meals can be tailored to your preferences and macros. I love the calories and protein contents are on the menu as I'm tracking both it makes things so much easier to manage. This place has really dialled in to a current and hopefully lasting health trend and does it really well without skipping on quality.
