The staff kept coming by every 2 minutes to ask if we were ready to order. I was actually in the process of cleaning the table myself, but they didn't seem to care. Thank you.

The staff were friendly and suggested ordering just one serving for two people (I was initially going to order two servings/four scones since they were generously sized - they were correct. The scones were delightful, fluffy, and made fresh on the premises. Rod was cheerful and even shared some interesting information about the surrounding area. I would definitely return in the future.

Both times the service was warm and friendly, and we had a great seat by the window which you could look out at the trees while you ate. The teas and coffee were delicious but the highlight was definitely the club sandwich and pumpkin soup (lunch) and then the epic french toast for brekkie! The owner was lovely too and all round made our experience a great one. We will definitely be back!

Love the idea of supporting small businesses especially after COVID. Friendly locals around walking their dogs. Great friendly cafe with a lovely vibe.
