A hidden gem. I never knew this cafe was in the garden centre but I will definitely be back. Food was excellent. They have a menu that caters to everyone’s tastes. The desserts looked amazing so I’ll have to get a cake next time. I got a scone to take away and it was delicious.

Tasty foodFriendly staffCoffeeDesserts & cakes
Absolutely loved this café. From the moment I walked in, it just felt warm and welcoming, really relaxed with loads of charm. The staff were so friendly and attentive, which made the whole visit even nicer.
The coffee was genuinely great. Smooth, rich, and clearly made with care! The food was just as good, fresh and really nicely presented. It’s the kind of place you end up staying longer than you planned without even realising.
Lovely cafe, amazing fresh and tasty vegan bruschetta , husband had avocado and eggs and loved it too. Staff were friendly and helpful. Prices are a little steep but portions are big and food was fresh so worth it. Only thing I don't understand is having people queueing out the door when there are many clean empty tables!
