Not just a cafe, but a lovely experience. We came here because of the other nice reviews as we were staying near by. It's a good cafe run, by smashing people with the aim to help others, mainly with learning difficulties. It's not expensive and it's definitely worth a go. We were made most welcome and to be honest it was a really nice uplifting experience. See by the photo, everyone smiling and waving. Good luck to them all.

What a fantastic cafe. The service was great, the staff are lovely and friendly. The breakfast I had was perfection. A full plate of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, toms, mushrooms, hash browns and toast washed down with a cappuccino. Great value and a great experience.
