Just a normal cafe. But a really good one. Fewer of them around these days. The staff are welcoming, the food is good and well cooked to order; they know loads of the customers so it is clearly well respected in the community, and that speaks volumes. Reasonable prices too!

Absolute Gem. Reasonably priced good food. My bacon and egg sarnie was jampacked between a beautifully fresh bloomer loaf and my coffee was full of flavour, just how I like it.
