I walked to Mells with high hopes of enjoying breakfast at the cafe. The website advertised a variety of breakfast options such as bacon baguettes and rolls, but upon arrival, only croissants and tea cakes were available. I ended up settling for an Americano, which was weak and bland. Despite the positive reviews on the website and TripAdvisor, I was very disappointed with the lack of options and quality of the coffee. I will not be returning and believe the misleading website should be updated.

First and last visit to this cafe. Called in at 2.45pm for a drink and some cake. Started talking to a female assistant. I asked for a piece of cake and a coffee. Only to be greeted by Sorry, last orders were at 2.45pm I looked at my watch and the time was 2.45pm. Two pints, why have the door open at 2.45pm to let customers in, if clearly customers are a hindrance. Second, why let the customer order first, when clearly there was no intention to provide a service. I thought that closing time was at 3pm. Is really that difficult to serve a cake/coffee in 15 mins. shocking service. Give this place a wide berth.

I went today with my son and Granddaughters, the cafe has a lovely atmosphere, we all felt welcome, service was 1st class, I had cranberry and chocolate cake which was scrumptious, good quality coffee, Would definitely recommend and will be returning soon

Disappointing. Cake was so dry and should NOT have been sold as almost inedible surroundings ok. Not very friendly but due to close in next hour. May try again one day. Prices average

I had a delicious coffee and a generous slice of Lime and Courgette sponge at this restaurant. It was a perfect treat on a cold, wet day. I will definitely be returning in the future.
