Nice friendly cafe but rather tightly packed and was very busy when I went, we could barely hear each other speak.

First visit here. Found myself running early for a change - so had time to pop in here for a light breakfast. Pleasantly fitted out. Clean and bright. Food was nice. I had a window table, which afforded an unusual vista. The window faces on to the main street - but it is frosted in part - so what you CAN see clearly is the sky - on this day, a clear blue sky - and - in the short time I was here - an amazing number of high flying aeroplane crossings, with their jet streams. Anyway, back to the cafe itself. Pricing was okay. Service efficient and I would definitely go back. On this occasion I was travelling by bus, so parking wasn't an issue. However, there IS street parking available around and about.

Great prices, location, food & service. Homemade scones were fantastic. Definitely recommend for a decent coffee or light lunch.
