Description

Nestled next to the Church, this charming café offers a welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and a cozy retreat from city life. Its spacious yet somewhat cramped tables cater to families and small groups alike. The delightful decor and upbeat music enhance the experience, making it a hidden gem. While the food is generally well-prepared, it sometimes lacks seasoning, with dishes like bean chili and soups needing a flavor boost. Nonetheless, patrons rave about the great coffee, unique sandwiches, and the inviting environment perfect for gatherings. Overall, the café is a beloved local spot worth a visit for a memorable outing.

Met a friend for lunch today. Lovely place with friendly staff. Their club sandwich was great and the chocolate brownie delicious. Pop in, you won’t be disappointed

Despite its unassuming exterior, this quaintly situated restaurant is a hidden gem. The interior is charming, with a trendy upcycled decor and playful lighting. While it may be slightly chilly inside, the ambiance is cozy and enhanced by the great music playing in the background.

We pop in here regularly on a Saturday morning for a quick coffee and some breakfast. Lovely little place, squeezed into Shirley. If a fan of good Monmouth coffee and yummy food go here! Lovely family vibe, avocado on toast is lush, as are the porridge bowls. Great flat whites. Haven 't done any of the 'making ' aspect yet but would love to do something next time we are in! Always busy which is a great sign.

Such a lovely atmosphere when I walked in, it was at the end of the night and I was staying nearby so I thought I'd stop by and grab a hot chocolate and tasty snack. The staff were super friendly and oh my the cherry blondie was delicious and the hot chocolate was too! I'll definitely be returning when I I'm back.

Lovely bright, airy place for families to get together or for people who don’t mind to be surrounded by children and dogs. Great food and dessert options, wide variety of drinks, I loved it here and will be back. They have toys for children, high chairs and even plenty of space to leave your pram if you can’t fit it around the table. The staff seemed really lovely and attentive.
