Stumbled across this tea/coffee shop after walking the city Wall in grim weather. Fantooshtic!! Lovely array of fresh baked big cakes and very good snack menu. Lovely staff too. Wished we could have stayed longer.

A lovely, cosy atmosphere with friendly service from staff who are very attentive and always up for a chat. Food was delicious, my partner and I had the savoury scone and we enjoyed it so much we went back again the next day!

What a fabulous find. Proper dog friendly cafe. Gorgeous surroundings and the cakes were divine and all made in house. We were very impressed as were our 3 dogs. Highly recommend this lovely place as a stop off if you're walking the walls or shopping. Lovely lady serving us. Salted caramel cake was especially scrummy.

Superb cafe. Homemade food, delicious fresh salads, sandwiches & scones. Best hot chocolate that I have had in a long time. Service very friendly & helpful. Highly recommend this cafe. Very dog friendly too. We didn't have a dog with us & weren't bothered by the dogs. Everything kept very clean.

Literally ate the best coffee and walnut cake of my life here. Great service. Comfy sofas to lounge on. Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Skip the chains further down the street and come here.
