"A good sized cafe with plenty of seating that offers a wide range of hot & cold beverages, as well as a nice selection of delicious cakes, biscuits, sandwiches & pastries plus much more, I found my large Cappuccino made with oat milk to be well balanced & a perfect temperature. I also found the staff to be friendly, as I had a warm welcome as soon as I got to the counter from a lovely young lady, keep up the good work."
