Cute little spot and been meaning to go in there for ages. Lovely decor with mirrors and bird cages. Quite fun. There was a bit of a wait for a table as we were 5 people but they made sure they accommodated us. Food and coffee very reasonably priced. Coffee was good and my cheese and onion toasty was great. There was a problem with their electricity so some of the food got overcooked so they got us extra food out. I had also ordered an omelette for the little one and brought it out in cutlery and plates for kids which was lovely and they made sure her food was out first. Extra points for that! Brilliant service, lovely food and great vibes. Will be back :)

What a beautiful cafe. We visited today with our two kids, there is a wee snug type seat at the front window with lots of books underneath that my kids loved reading, colouring books and stickers. The staff were so friendly to us and our children, so thankyou! The service was excellent, I had the cheese and ham french toast, it was amazing! Everything was well priced too, lunch for the 4 of us and drinks/cake was under £40. I would absolutely recommend this cafe and we will be back. The staff were happy to make plain cheese or ham rolls for my kids and served their drinks in wee plastic cups, and brought the kids food first (always helpful!) the place didn't feel rushed, and we had a fab relaxed brunch. Really loved this welcoming and beautifully decorated cafe!

Typing this down as I eat the sponge cake, this cafè is everything I hoped it would be. It's cute, small(and I hope it stays that way) and homely. The people in the cafe are lovely, as are the food and drinks!

This cafe is such a hidden gem! They serve the best, silky smooth coffee I've ever had. I've been to hundreds of coffee shops and this cafe has by far the best taste and texture. The caramel oat latte is 10/10!! The staff are so friendly and welcoming which makes every visit such a delight! The home baked goods are scrumptious especially the cheesecakes! Everyone I have raved to about this cafe is now a regular! Would highly recommend visiting, even if you have to go out your way, it's well worth it! Xx

Rated extra * for being spicy child friendly. Let us choose safe food Items off the breakfast menu the kid would eat. Nice cosy corner, music on but low. Friendly, genuine vibe in general from the staff. Food was all good. Didn't expect otherwise but the potato soup was bangin'.

I stumbled on this wee gem around August 2022 when i was setting up traffic lights across the road and i got a breakfast and it was very good. Went back in today 16 March 2023 got another breakfast thinking it was probably just a fluke. Spot on once again! Egg bacon etc cooked to perfection. Little hint THE BLACK PUDDING IS A MUST!! Absolute amazing!. Sorry about the photo I was starving. Will definitely be back!
