Lovely small cafe with great coffee and delicious sourdough toasties!
Original food options, lovely coffee and comfortable little place.
The bestest ever cheesecake. Manchego cheesecake- fabulous silky texture, brilliantly balanced flavours, clearly Manchego cheese, perfect sweetness (not too sweet) and balance
I got a latte here. The coffee was lovely. A mild, easy drink. It even tasted good cold. I defo have to go back again. They had unique hot drink selections, and the staff were friendly and welcoming.
The food here is absolutely delicious! My husband and I stumbled upon this place while walking around the area, and we didn’t expect much - but the coffee and food completely blew us away. The chicken toastie was perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavour. The mushroom quiche was moist and full of rich mushroom and cheese flavours. And the side salad? Honestly, I usually don’t expect much from side salads, but this one was so fresh and tasty, it felt like a dish of its own. We’re definitely coming back - 100%!
Staff are caring and helpful. Delicious coffee.
Very friendly Spanish deli, with lots of high quality and regional products. Food selection for eat in is small, but delicious. Their sourdough toasties are full of flavour, and the pastries are delicious. They are also dog friendly, so it's a perfect stop in between parks.
Lovely spot and an incredibly tasty oat latte. Delicious looking cakes and Spanish specialty foods.
