Pretty pleased with my 1st visit to this cafe Food was piping hot which I like and service polite and efficient. Premises were clean and good menu selection. Only criticism is that after asking for my bacon to be cooked well done but it was only cooked that way on 1 side and the sausage and hash browns also came well done which I didn't request. Still I would return here.

Popped In Here The Other Day For A Quick Bite To Eat. Been In A Few Times Before But Never Tried The Food Before. Myself And My Mum Ordered 2 Hamburgers With Chips And It Was Delicious! Piping Hot, Excellent Customer Service, Really Chilled Atmosphere And Will Definitely Be Back If We're Ever In That Area Again!

Lovely people can't fault them. Just got a lovely bacon roll with the freshest roll I've had for a long time. And I got 3x lasagne portions from them as well which looks delicious but they're for dinner so can't taste it now but it smells amazing.. So I can't recommend this café enough... Well worth a visit if around the area... Thanks guys... Cheers Tubsy

Just started using this cafe. Lovely egg bacon baguette with plenty inside it. Went to my local cafe in St Paul's cray and had the same thing. Was disgusting with hardly any egg bacon in a stale baguette, plus cost more. Not been there for years, won't be going back. Worth the drive from St Paul's cray to come here. Well done

A yummy omelette was my as healthy as I can choice while visiting this place with my fried food loving friend, i was happy to recieve a fresh cut salad with it, which was made better than many I've had in bistros! Good atmosphere and lots of light gives the super clean cafe a lovely bathe in natural light. Very friendly and kind staff, good acsess to toilets, and a well loved local cafe. I've heard the bacon is good too, might have to cheat on my diet next time
