Brunch Menu

Cons:

• "We visited today soon after opening and sadly half the menu was unavailable and the service was very slow."

Ambiance and Decor

Pros:

• "Incredibly clean and very warm atmosphere."
• "I actually think the decor is nice especially when you consider the pastry display you have at the front counter an immediate staring point."
• "Lovely atmosphere and the food was absolutely on point!!"
• "The atmosphere has a vibrant buzz when busy and chill and soothing when calm."
• "Cosy, comfortable and sociable; this modern bakery is a space to relax and chat while the world outside continues apace."

Cons:

• "Could do with being about double the size, and having a front awning for sunny days!"
• "The pictures speak for themselves. The decor is a bit sparse and cold."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "The hash browns to share were of stellar quality & amazing value for money."
• "We had two pastries, two mains, two sides and one hot drink all coming under £45. In today's economy I would say that is very reasonable."
• "The desserts were also another level of good. Massive, rich in flavour and again, worth the price."
• "Good value food with lots of great flavours."
• "Absolutely delicious cakes and pastries - anything involving custard is particularly excellent."

Cons:

• "The lemonade is extremely small and tasted average for the price (£4.50)."
• "Food is good but quite expensive."
• "Food was good albeit a little overpriced for what it is."
• "Bit of a treat cos they are slightly on the edge of what I can justify spending."
• "£12 for scrambled egg on toast! Some people must love it, but not for me at all."
