A friend and I stumbled on this lovely new cafe in town. It is of a modern fashionable design. I loved the big open fronted bay doors, perfect for summer. A lovely as the place looks, the food however is the star of the show! Best scrambled egg I’ve ever had, the mushrooms where amazing! The meat was not cheap generic rubbish! All of the food was fresh and to a very high standard. I will certainly be returning again soon.

We’ve had a lovely meal at Jessica’s place. She was completely on her own, but the food was good, and even quiet quick. Guests should be a bit patient because she is hosting by herself, Jessica could perhaps smile more but we did come in towards the end of summer. The music playing in the kitchen was bangin, really great tunes, but it conflicted a little bit with the radio at the front of the venue for the guests. We’ll definitely be back! - smile more and don’t be afraid to play the music you like through the whole venue, we like it too! :) Thankyou for a lovely meal. Becca

Food: The food was very nice. Some confusion on what was available since there was old menus out for some reason. My partners food was delicious. Both the food was well presented. My beans were barely warm but that’s my only complaint. The Panini came with salad and crisps which I thought was amazing. Waiting time: Short waiting time. We came at lunch and expected a longer wait but was relatively short. Wasn’t busy at this time. Atmosphere: The design of the cafe is very unusual. There is paintings of naked women on the wall as well as a kids reading area nearby. The music was too loud, was difficult to make conversation due to this. The layout of the tables were unusual too. I feel like there isn’t a clear overall theme of the area. Staff: Staff were polite, some confusion when ordering but nothing major. Seemed nice, no major overall interaction. Pricing: I feel like the menus needs to be completely redone. There is no clear sectioning on food. For example there was dinner food next to lunch food. Pricing was good. We were both pleasantly surprised by the portion. Overall review: I would give this place a 7/10. This cafe has been here for a while and just needs to get things arranged better for it to gain a higher score. I feel like it’s a nice cafe to go to for lunch.
