This charming café offers a cozy interior and a spacious garden, perfect for enjoying on a nice day with plenty of room for kids. While the food and drinks are a bit pricey, the quality is excellent and the portions are generous. Located next to an art center, it serves light meals and refreshments from the 'Tiptree' company, with consistent quality and efficient service. However, there were difficulties contacting the venue for booking, and some issues were experienced during a birthday celebration visit. Overall, the beautiful café is a lovely spot to visit for good food and drinks in a quirky setting.
