Lovely little cafe! I think the food is pre made as you can’t edit any menu items, but it was all yummy. Lovely little area, dog friendly outside and nice and cool inside. Had a nice coffee frappe and some well priced food. Will be back

We enjoyed one of many tables in the shade. Hubby's iced chocolate was amazing, my hot chocolate was delicious, and we really enjoyed our Mars cookie croissant. It is a lovely area for children and adults alike
