The muffin was unexpectedly superb – a perfectly crusty top with a soft, fluffy inside. Generous butter was provided, which is a rare treat these days. Coffee was spot-on too. A great little café to stop at before heading up the Bridle Path hike

I've only been for coffee so far but the food looks great. The coffee is always excellent. The staff are friendly and competent. There are a few nice spots of outside seating, and inside is bright and pleasant.

Nice people and nice food. Very accommodating for coeliac options, and I go out of my way to come here. Highly recommend and reasonable, fair prices from customer point of view. Also sunny open aspect with hill scenery is very appealing
