Popped in after test riding a mountain bike from the Giant Bike shop opposite; was hungry & thirsty and this cafe was very convenient. Lovely cafe, very friendly & helpful staff, the quality of the food & drink was excellent with a great choice (really enjoyed my houmous & roasted pepper sandwich); all in all a very pleasant & unexpected experience. Thank you ladies!

Becky did an amazing job on our Wedding cake, she created exactly what we asked just from reference images and placed our cake topper on for us, it was a delicious and beautiful cake. Every guest was very complimentary, and said it looked and tasted great. Becky created separate cupcakes for vegan and gluten free dietary requirements which also received great compliments.
