Lovely quirky spot, easy and free to park. Often stop for coffee - their flat white is great and the carrot cake is delicious! They do paninis as well. Make sure you walk around the antiques, and if you have your dog with with you, can you walk through the old cider orchards on public

The coffee and snacks are alright, but you come here for the ambiance or because you're exploring a maze of bargain antiques. Totally a fun place to spend some time chatting, reading, whatever. The space is really interesting, welcoming, and fun. The coffee, if I'm honest, is merely alright - better than a Costa or a Pret, but nothing special. The staff are friendly, and easily confused. We got our coffee order wrong, but it was quickly corrected. They were flummoxed by getting a £20 note for a £9 order, and two of them working together sweetly offered £21 in change before we corrected them. It was charming, and we'll be back.

Went there for coffee and cake really friendly and the coffee and flapjack were excellent. Was a cold morning out and they had a roaring log fire burning could not have been more inviting. Really recommend the DOVETAIL CAFE.

Lovely day out topped off with a lovely coffee and panini in the cafe. Was very busy but the staff worked hard to accommodate us and were very friendly. Highly recommended if you fancy a morning out looking at antiques and having a cuppa!Kid-friendliness: YesParking: Ample parkingWheelchair accessibility: Yes

Excellent decor, great atmosphere and delicious cake. Something the area has been crying out for, we were so impressed with the vibe and would recommend it to anyone who wants to visit somewhere with a lot of character and also very trendy.

Popped into The Dovetail Cafe this morning as part of a visit to The Antique Village. Coffee was excellent, the Salted Caramel Brownie to die for and all so reasonably priced, this coupled with being situated in The Antique Village makes it well worth a visit.
