Wow - what a find !! Super little cafe - we had the MOST delicious Chickpea soup with cheese toastie (yum) and a lovely little side salad. Great find when you want something different to fish and chips or pasties! Will definitely return!

I love this place! As someone with coeliac I often have very few places I can eat, but here almost everything on the menu could be made gluten free. They also do a bunch of awesome cocktails! I had such a great time and if I lived around here I daresay I would be in three times a week.
