Customer comments

'Excellent range of food and drinks, brilliant effort on Fairtrade and recycling, and good value too! Will come again.'

'I really like it here: everyone is very friendly, the design is well thought out, and the coffee is delicious. Not many places are as nice as this one. Just thought I’d let you know.'

'My daughter and I just found your lovely café after a morning at the National Gallery (What a hidden delight). I will check sometime, but seems like we have rather more for our money than high st cafés, all delicious and fresh, and a cosy place to sit, and charming good-natured staff! Hurrah all round.'

'A clean, pleasant haven, the staff is cheerful and the food is always fresh. Very pleased to see the English array of pies and cakes.'
