Had lunch and could literally not harm the food. great coffee too. I think I'm going to rule one.
Great caffe, nice breakfast, the coffee is a must, karen and her team are beautiful. can't wait to visit again.
Had a nice brunch today brioche french toast with bacon and maple syrup, was pleased to come back to taste the lunch and afternoon coffee with cake options.
Excellent food and the coffee is very good too. I'd highly recommend the breakfasts here. The gentleman that was serving was just that, a true gent and was very accommodating. 10/10 highly recommend.

I visited this restaurant on the Saturday night of the August Bank Holiday weekend. It was not very busy, but the menu was quite interesting, offering both traditional dishes like sausage and mash as well as a diverse selection of Thai-inspired dishes. The food was delicious, especially the Thai meals which were full of flavor, and the portions of sausage and mash were very generous. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
I had a wonderful dining experience last week with my Dad and partner at this restaurant, where we tried the Thai menu. The food was delicious and the portion sizes were just right. The atmosphere was very relaxed and the waiter who served us was friendly and polite. I would definitely recommend this place to others!
The food at this restaurant was outstanding and the waiter was incredibly genuine, down-to-earth, and polite. I highly recommend this place. It has a very cozy and welcoming atmosphere.
Popped in for brunch yesterday and was so impressed by the food and customer service. So many options to cater for all types of diet (I'm a vegetarian and had plenty of choices). Lovely atmosphere created by the amazing staff, the food was amazing especially the homemade bread!!
Had a lovely stop in Penrith on route home from holiday. This cafe was a real gem, very quiet and absolutely lovely food! Good menu selection and really well prepared. Attentive service, nothing was too much trouble. Good value for money too. Wish we lived closer so we could return more frequently!
