What a great place. Excellent food (amazing range of home made cakes, very reasonable prices) and drink, warm welcome from the two lovely ladies in charge - as five hungry cyclists we were more than happy to find this place. Would definitely stop here again.

What a lovely Cafe. The staff are extremely pleasant and the cakes delicious, especially the chocolate orange cake. The latte was good, but the hot chocolate not so good. Overall though, would recommend. There is a small shop inside which is handy.
