Had an amazing time at this vibrant place. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Baby changing facilities available on request. The food was scrumptious. Would highly recommend the ginger ale mojito! ?

Ten Hands Cafe is consistently exceptional. I regularly go for breakfast on Friday mornings and have tried several items from the menu including the Eggs Royale; Full Veggie breakfast, Huevos Rancheros and Avocado smash. I am coeliac which is no problem as there is gluten free bread and tortillas available. The food has always been fresh and cooked superbly. My favourite drink is the apple infusion tea which comes in a large pot but the coffee is also superb. The front of house staff are incredibly friendly and helpful; and there is a lovely atmosphere with people of all ages clearly welcomed. My absolute favourite place in the area to eat and drink.

Stopped for a break from the A5, found handy free parking with electric charging point just round the corner. Food and service were excellent. Tasty homemade soup with cheese scone and the most amazing toffee apple brioche with vanilla custard, followed by freshly made coffee. Couldn’t fault anything. Shame I don’t live closer!

Lovely little cafe, I really wasn't expecting this quality of food! Service was great, it was quite loud but that's only because it was full with lots of people chatting and laughing - not much to be done about people enjoying themselves. I'm looking forward to another visit.

The perfect breakfast: 5 different choices, we all had delicious, hot food efficiently served . Attractive, healthy and joyous eating. My order, an English breakfast, was hot with immaculate fried eggs, tasty bacon rashers with beautifully prepared deep golden crunchy rinds, almost sweet and then salty back with just the right amount of cooking. The highlight for me was the best potato rösti-esque concoction that I've ever tasted anywhere in the world, including Switzerland! Staff were attentive, cheerful and quick to respond to additional orders in spite of a roaringly busy morning service. The staff were always smiling, but the food itself made our stomachs smile even more.Well done everyone at Ten Hands Café Bar: your teamwork was seamless and you made it all looked so effortless.We can't wait for our next Gormengastric feast.

I had planned to meet a buddy as he headed back home to Stockport for a catch-up over coffee and brekkie. Our usual venue felt tired so, on recommendation, I booked a table at Ten Hands. Turned out to be a good choice. The weather outside was woeful but the atmosphere inside was warm and inviting and, judging by the disappointed ranks of walk-ins, booking ahead was the right thing to do. Through the course of a lengthy natter, which meant we overlapped the breakfast and brunch/lunch sittings, we enjoyed three lattes apiece (dairy for my buddy and oat for me) plus a light but fulfilling breakfast apiece. Minor criticism on the coffee front are twofold; Firstly, as many do, you’re still charged a considerable % surcharge for non-dairy milks and secondly the coffee was, at best, warm rather than piping hot ( thus needed to be despatched quite quickly after receipt). The breakfasts were good if a tad expensive. Would that stop us going again; No. In the present environment I’d happily pay to ensure the venue is around for future visits, I had the vegan sausage ciabatta which was crisp and light bread enveloping two vegan sausages with a splash of brown sauce. Just the right volume and tasty to boot. It’s just a sign of the economic times that the cost is £7,50 when ,as an old fart, my head tells me it should be 2/3 of that. My buddy enjoyed the Eggs Benedict, which even as a plant-based eater I could see looked good, which was despatched with alacrity; a sign suggesting that it was tasty. (Being picky I could suggest that the poached eggs were a little underdone). On the same basis as my sausage sarnie £12.95 seemed expensive. Notwithstanding the prices it was a very pleasant place to while away the time and the service was first rate. Will definitely be back again and will introduce MrsC too

Called in for two bowls of soup. Didn't order anything else, no drinks etc. The bill was £17.95! Riculous!

Really tasty food, yes bit slow to come and get the order but after that we. It arrived it was perfect. Eggs royale and my son scrambled with crispy bacon. Worth the wait and the price in my view.

Went in on a busy Sunday. Nice table, varied menu. Was told someone would take our order but no one returned so we asked if we should order at the till. The waitress said she would come over but took another 8 minutes to do so. Waitresses are polite but don’t follow through with proposed actions quickly, Food came in a good amount of time but our drinks were nowhere to be seen. I was 2 bites away from finishing my eggs Benedict before the drinks arrived. We found this odd as normally you always have your drink out first. I had to ask for our drinks and was told they had prioritised them but had been busy - I’m sorry but that’s not acceptable when we’ve already had our food. Drinks eventually arrived. Delicious apple juice and hot chocolate but unfortunately the latte was cold. The food was delicious. Perfect eggs, nice clean cooked breakfast. So basically, the food was great but the service was slow and the drinks took too long. We’d give it another go based on the tasty food but if the service on drinks does not improve, we won’t return again. We aren’t picky people and accept the cafe was busy but if food comes out quicker than drinks, something is going wrong.
Walked pass this place last Sunday and had a quick look, it was very busy. Today we decided to try it, it was busy but we managed to get a table outside in the shade, the food was great, staff were friendly but brought cutlery and not napkins, I had to ask for it. Over all it was a good experience, it was very hot and we rushed to get out as the sun had moved and it was too hot to stay any longer. I must say a good selection of breakfast for your choice, I didn't have a coffee as it was far too hot for one.Vegetarian options: Good option for vegetarians

Very nice food. Server paid attention to dietary restrictions. I would personally prefer servers with long hair to have it tied back.Vegetarian options: If you order vegetarian with side fries, I was told these are fried in same frier as meat products. I was offered plain nachos in their place.

Amazing food, little slow on service but all in all a lovely place for a good lunch.

First time here and completely blown away. Chilled staff not pressuring you, perfectly cooked, top quality food served swiftly with a smile. You honestly can't ask for more. Every credit to you all. Highly recommend and will visit again soon ?

This place more than satisfies the hunger pangs and if our yoghurt, fresh fruit & granola is anything to go by, your taste buds too will be delighted ! This is a stand-out dish against any discerning standard - great plate appeal, home-made oats & Co and top quality ingredients generally. There was a good atmosphere given the place was pretty full. A shame therefore that the service, whilst efficient, lacked personality and in this sense was forgettable and reduced a perhaps 5 star experience to 4…
