Stopped for early lunch, toastie and sandwiches, both lovely. Bought some cakes to take away back to our campsite, Bakewell tart lovely, and the lemon drizzle the best I’ve ever had!

Lovely place to sit down and have a coffee or cake ! The staff are very helpful and friendly. The cakes are all presented beautifully and match the pink, pastel aesthetic of the shop’s interior. It was quiet when seated despite the attached clothes shop so that is not an issue. The size of the cake is perfect for sharing too and the mocha’s were perfect to sip on a rainy summer’s day.

They sell the most delicious cakes - the salted caramel brownies were heavenly, so good we went in the morning and then returned again in the afternoon. The iced coffee tasted like burnt caramel and sweeter than i'd usually have, but it was very nice and hit the spot. The lady was friendly and helpful, giving us tips on where to go locally. Worth a visit if you're in the area...or even a diversion if you have a sweet tooth!
