The food was enjoyable and tasted homemade, but the prices were extremely high. I was surprised by the cost, especially considering that even restaurants in Wilmslow don't charge as much. Unfortunately, the high prices and added service charge would prevent me from returning.

I visited this restaurant for a cup of tea and a toasted tea cake, and when I asked for the bill, I was surprised to see that I had to pay £8.00 plus a service charge. It felt like a rip-off. I will not be returning to this place. Stay away from here.

I visited this oasis for a coffee a sandwich. Situated in urban area of Rochdale provides a warm, friendly cafe with beautiful range of sandwiches and salads along with wide range of cold and hot drinks. I opted for a Illy’s Cappuccino which tasted smooth and delicious. Ordered a steak baguette with onions, cheese and jalapeno peppers on a toasted baguette served with a side salad. Also ordered a large bottle of locally sourced water. Ambiance was warm friendly supported with polite team who greet you with a warm authentic smile. Busy Cafe frequented by locals visitors like. Not surprised. A gem. Congratulations to the team!

Really bad experience at this cafe. First when we sat down our menus were just placed on the table we were not even acknowledged. Then we were told we need to leave as the table was reserved and we said that’s fine we had nearly finished and then we were told we need to pay the bill (meaning leave). We felt we were pushed out, there were many tables that were empty and no customers were waiting so it was not even busy. If it was busy and people were waiting for tables it’s understandable. We won’t be going there again, plus we were the only coloured people there so felt like this is why our experience was not pleasant Service: Dine in Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: £10–20
