Really enjoyed the salted caramel brownie and my extra hot hot chocolate. Personally would have preferred the hot chocolate to be a bit of a richer chocolate taste, but one bonus was it wasnt overly sweet!!!! Our party of 4 were pleased to come in out of the rain into this pleasant coffee shop.

My espresso was superb, simply superb. Sausage roll wasn't bad but a little on the small side for the cost, would be fair it it was 3isb but felt like that was a bit too much.
Espresso however, otherworldly.

Lovely coffees with a brownie and rhubarb, elderflower and lemon cake which were both delicious! Also some top dog walk tips. Hope you get some time to relax after a busy summer season and thank you for your recommendations. Let dogs in the cafe too 🐾🐾

Superb coffee and home baked goods. We had a bountiful almond croissant and a vegan sesame granola slice with our excellent house brew. Friendly staff and plenty of dogs.
