“ Staff very helpful food very good and very clean we will go there again soon ”
“ One of my favorites. I use this place regular for coffee and snacks and have done so for years. I normally write reviews about every place I've eaten but because this is a regular I forgot all about it. Well where do I start? Everything is of consistently good quality and is always made fresh to order. The coffee is delicious Today I tried an iced coffee and was so pleased I ordered another. Staff are always pleasent and helpful. A particular mention must go to Manda, Lyndsey, and Jean here though all the staff give great service it's just I can't recall the names of them all Lunchtimes can be busy but everywhere is around here but even when the staffs under they still provide a high quality level of service. ”

“ Myself and two other chaps run a local business on the valley and we would be lost without the wonderful coffees and smoothies this cafe offers. I have my lunch there now and then as a treat as well and it really is a treat their sandwiches are gorgeous. The main thing this place offers is great customer service and a friendly atmosphere. I love being the one to go out during the work day for our drinks as I always get a lovely welcome from the ladies there. ”
