A lovely place for coffees and lunch. I’ve been here with friends several times and we always have a lovely time. Friends always comment how good the paninis are, while I enjoy the omelette or fish finger sandwiches most. Coffees are wonderful and the overall presentation of everything is great. I enjoy seeing the local art on the walls too. Staff have always been warm and helpful, certainly a place I will visit again.

As soon as my wife and I entered we were greeted with a hello and a smile, staff were so pleasant, we loved how spacious, CLEAN and homely the cafe felt. Our order was taken swiftly considering it was very busy.. the cafe was full.. people came in and weren’t turning around to walk back out but waiting for a table, clearly we chose the right place for food if people were willing to wait. Our coffees came in good time, and they were hot and tasted great. We ordered main meals and sides and we were impressed with the presentation and portions. Amazing. Food tasted GREAT. You can consider us loyal customers in future and we are looking forward to bringing family here when they visit in the Easter holidays. A very firm 5 stars from me. I certainly look forward to my next visit. I had a chat with the chef (the owner) what a lovely chap, all the best to him and his family. Who in their 2nd year of business are doing terrifically well. I hope they are here in years to come.

Easily one of the nicest cafes in aber, the waitress was so lovely and friendly and it was the BEST ham and cheese panini I’ve ever had which sounds silly because I thought they’d all taste the same but it didn’t.

Very clean , and very pleasant staff. Food is always freshly prepared, so sometimes a bit of a wait if they are busy. Which is only to be expected, one of the best in town
