Great place for vegetarians--they have a really tasty vegetarian pie (creamy veg), and there were lots of other veg options on the menu, too. We also got a real fruit raspberry ice cream and it was fantastic! The employees were attentive and welcoming. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

It’s all in the name!!! This place is amazing - the food is so fresh and tasty, the freshly baked focaccia is to die for! They have new salads and cabinet goodies everyday, the staff are amazing, coffee is yummy, patisserie is INCREDIBLE, I could go on forever. I’ve heard so many people rave about this place in Mot and it did not disappoint!

Great place, all food (even the bread) is home made or locally sourced (honeydew smoked bacon). We had Eggs Benedict, bacon sandwich and croissant between us, all delicious. Also fab coffee and yummy hot chocolate. Oh and free, cold drinking water

Fantastic food, don't walk past! We stopped in at last after passing too many times and were treated with some proper food, a huge pastie, tasty pork belly pie and a lasagne big enough for 4. Good thing we had brought good appetites! My companion was well pleased with the flat white as well!

Lovely Café, with nice staff and eager to answer all the questions about the products. They have fresh salads, baked goods as well as warm meals. We've had a sandwich as well as a piece of the beef lasagna. The food was really good but nothing extraordinary - next time I'll try something sweet!
