Soon to be my local but we have started having our coffee here already. Excellent service and great coffee. Yet to sample the food but it looks amazing

Nestled in the heart of Southwell, this charming café, run by an Italian family, is a haven for coffee aficionados and food lovers alike. Renowned for its expertly crafted Italian coffees, the café also boasts a delectable selection of homemade cakes, snacks, and hearty breakfasts, including mouthwatering pizzas. With a warm and welcoming atmosphere, it’s the perfect spot to unwind. The café opens early, catering to early risers, and is especially popular on weekends. While it only accepts cash, the friendly staff and exceptional service make every visit memorable. A true gem for the community!.

It’s such a shame that this cafe lets their brilliant coffees down with their rude staff. Will not be returning again unfortunately.

"I really enjoyed the focaccia topped with olives, just how I like it. I also picked up some rustic sourdough bread from this hidden gem of a bakery."
