“ As an initial thought it this place is fantastic, the staff are polite and welcoming, the food is to a good standard. It is very evident here that professional hospitality is definitely something they take seriously. I was served a full English breakfast with poached eggs, the toast was toast and not soggy bread, care was taken to remove any excess water from my eggs, the seasoning and garnish were just right & the vinegar used in the water wasn’t over powering the eggs, meat arrived hot without having a plate burning your hands, the colour and texture of the meat was absolutely amazing, If an option was available to have the hash brown baked instead of fried I would have absolutely been impressed, but let’s be fair the oil used wasn’t over bearing. However if there was to be one thing from one chef to another, the plate served had a significant chip on the side with a secondary piece of the chip appearing to be re glued in place. It was however clear that this wasn’t a new chip so I wasn’t concerned of any immediate cross contamination. But let’s get back to the main point, would I come back? Yes, would I recommend this place? Yes. Would I recommend to my customers and clients to come to this place? Absolutely. See you again ”
“ If Jesus went to this Cafe, he would literally say 'Oh my dad! That was amazing'. I couldn't fault the food or service, exceptional. If I wasn't so poor I'd probably throw some shares into the company to keep it running forever. Bare nice grub, Nutella hot chocolate made me hard as a woodpeckers lips, it was that nice! ”
“ Wow. Not sure how I've never come here but certainly won't be my last time. Amazing selection of cakes and coffee but the brunch menu is to die for. Massive portions and do not miss out on the hog spice tatties! It's a dog friendly cafe with also a play area for the kids. Portions are also absolutely huge! They also provided bowls for the dogs with a cold sausage each. Highly recommended! ”

“ Just all around ace love this place, today had to get mine to go but nothing is a trouble, with meal deals over 5 now I do not begrudge 8 for their sandwiches so fresh, always a lovely salad and crisps even when you take away. Lovely quality, and great coffee too! ”
“ Lovely and warming on a freezing bike ride. Lots of lovely dogs which were nice to see. ”
“ This cafe only opened yesterday in Prettygate after a much needed venue like this for years. There is a lovely play area for babies and children with some props like ikea kitchens and play foods and a couch area in the opposite corner. It has lots of space to manoeuvre a pram around and plenty of seating area. Delicious brownies and great coffee. Decaff and milk alternatives available. Food also available but haven't tested it yet. ”
