Visited for full breakfast, ordering easy and quick service, even when I asked for poached instead of fried eggs after initial order was being prepared. Everything about the breakfast was spot on cooked to perfection and very tasty. Highly recommend that if you're in the area !

Had my first visit here today meeting some old work friends, including Glen's wife Amy. I had one of the meals off the specials board, Chinese BBQ chicken with salad, coleslaw and potato salad absolutely lovely and plentiful although I did have to make some room to sample the lovely carrot cake too . Glen and Ryan were very friendly and welcoming and the café is excellent value for money, can't wait to visit again . Thanks guys xx
