The purple building with the craft stall, and sign with frieda kahla. We had two dogs with us and we were allowed to sit outside with them. We were welcomed by the lovely owner, who promptly told us there were fresh scones out of the oven and she had made apple and plum cake fresh that day. We were surprised the menu was vegetarian, but it was not a problem. The food was absolutely delicious!! I got the cheese and onion panini and it had mustard and relish and was so delicious. The cake was phenomenal! I also had a mocha. And it was the best I’d had this whole week! The stall out the front sells the owners crafts, there is lovely adult and children’s clothes. I got a dress for my niece and an apron for myself. I can’t wait to go back on our yearly visit to Downings!

We stopped in for delicious homemade cakes and muffins still warm from the oven! and teas and coffees. The owner, Sandra, is lovely and chatty and the cafe feels very homely. Very creative space with some of her handmade clothes available to buy, and lovely art on the walls made by her friends and family. Definitely worth seeking out if you’re in the area.

Over the years, the menu has evolved, though I feel it’s lost some standout items from before, particularly the omelette. The owner is warm and inviting, and a refreshed menu would make the place even more appealing.

The owner was very friendly and told us about the live music on Friday evenings, so we decided to come back. We were enchanted by Arn’s performance and thoroughly impressed by Sandra’s beautiful solo singing. Unfortunately, the open mic segment of the night didn’t live up to our expectations, so we chose to call it a night and leave.
