Despite having limited options, the staff was extremely accommodating. We ended up ordering a veganized version of the avocado toast (with vegan goat cheese at no extra charge!) and the cereal. I heard they also offer a vegan pizza, but since we were there for breakfast, we didn't try it. The restaurant has recently opened, but they appear to be well-informed about vegan options and eager to expand their menu. It was a wonderful refuge for me and my partners in a town that doesn't have many options for vegans and gluten-free individuals.

Despite the limited menu options, the staff was very helpful. We tried a veganized version of the avocado toast with vegan goat cheese, without eggs and dairy. I heard they also offer a vegan pizza, but we went for breakfast. They had just opened, but they seem committed to providing more vegan options and were very enthusiastic about expanding their menu. It was a welcoming oasis for my partner and I in a city that doesn't have many options for vegans and gluten-free diners.

The beautiful historic town was a lovely setting for this restaurant. The toasties were delicious and the coffee was great, although it was served too hot.

Decided to stop in a for a feed seeing how this establishment had a many good reviews about the food and dining experience. My take on this establishment.Service was slow considering not many people were dining in. Food was okay but nothing to talk about again. Could have had more potential.We noticed the owner being quite harsh towards the workers. Sad to see the staff having to deal with this.Shame to see another hospitality venue in a small town act the way they do towards there staff and give attitude to customers.
