Loved the vibe of this lovely cafe bar! The menu was plenty large enough with lots of choice both for food and drinks.The staff were really friendly and the food was ample and delicious. This is definitely a place to go and enjoy some good food and have a nice drink.

I’d like to give a fair and balanced review. The Coffee is good the cake was excellent and the value reasonable. However the attitude of the owner was demeaning and of someone who puts profits above service. To set the scene it is a cold grey Saturday afternoon threatening rain. Nobody sat outside and a couple of customer inside. We arrive on cycles looking forward to refreshments, expensive road bikes I might add.We place our bikes outside under the window where we can see them. Always concerned on a main road how easily someone could pull up and whip away our pride and joy. On leaving the premises the owner approached us and explained politely but insistently that we are not to leave our bikes in front of the property as other customers couldn’t use the furniture. Now as it was cold threatening rain and nobody likely to sit outside it seemed a little futile and more about making his point. My advice to cyclists and I will be making this to our club is not to frequent this establishment should you wish to keep an eye on your bike. Come the summer and you can sit outside, placing your bike against the building next door as suggested would be fine. But as much as the owner wanted to preach his point, I also would like him to think about his attitude. Cyclists are an excellent revenue stream, it would make sense to welcome and facilitate them going forward.Perhaps he may consider a sign saying please do not place cycles here, this may put some cyclist off but avoid confrontation. Or maybe install a camera or bike rack to make cyclists feel a little more at ease. PS the 2 stars on the service was purely the management, not the hard working, polite staff.

We popped in here while staying in malpas and it was absolutely fabulous! I had apple and parsnip soup which I was unsure how it would be but it was delicious! The atmosphere was lovely and staff were amazing and friendly. We also participated in the Christmas quiz which was so fun! Highly

The food was delicious and we were able to sit outside. Good location and the staff were friendly and helpful even though they were very busy.

We visited here for the first time a few weeks ago and we were happy with our brunch. The service was friendly, and the value for money was reasonable too (4x brunch dishes, plus 6x hot drinks approx £15 per person). The Full English / Full Vegetarian were top notch, with good quality ingredients. Overall we had a nice experience and we will visit again to try out new dishes.

I love this place. Its the perfect combination of cafe and people, the food is good the service is good, overall this is a great olace 100%
Very welcoming cosy place, popped in at lunchtime after a walk and then back for an evening meal. The staff were great, really attentive and professional. The cajun chicken was delicious, very succulent. Highly recommend.

A REALLY weird one here. As I was dismounting my bicycle by the door to the cafe, the proprietor came outside and told me to leave it in front of the laundrette across the lobbyroad, with some vague explanation that I'd be able to keep an eye on it there. Which I could, until a large van parked in front of it. My bike cost over £3000 and as I've had two other expensive bikes stolen, I was understandably anxious whilst rushing my food to retrieve it. The thing is, I would have felt a lot more relaxed if it had been left under the window, and it would have been easily visible from inside the cafe anyway. I feel that the disingenuous guy that runs the place has a snobbery that finds bicycles incompatible with his aspirations for his venue. Also, the coffee was dire. I ordered a flat white, which was double the size and half the strength of any other flat white I've had before, with lukewarm untextured milk. You're paying Starbucks/Nero's prices for the equivalent of granny's milky instant coffee. On a positive note, the cafe is aesthetically pleasing both inside and out and the young waitress that served me was extremely polite and lovely.

This was our second visit recently ……very welcome and friendly greeting by the owner …..coffee arrived quickly and our brekkie wasn’t far behind !! Atmosphere was awesome and the cafe became very busy shortly after we arrived !!, definitely worth a visit if you are in the area !!!

We came for coffee (having visited the church which is stunning) and were impressed by the friendly atmosphere and welcome. We were lured back for dinner and the Wednesday Quiz. We had an enjoyable meal at fair prices (the steak pie was the star), the staff a delight and the quiz great fun. In fact we were so impressed we decided to end our holiday with an excellent slap-up breakfast! We just wish we lived closer.
