    Lovely cafe.

    Have had coffee and light bites here a few times. Lovely little cafe. Very small but it works well. Lovely food. Great location. Excellent shop area selling chutneys, jams, coffees, etc. Worth visiting.

    handy takeouts, good coffee and bakery

    Love their paninis, made to order, for a handy lunch. Nicest mince pies and gluten free bakes. The seating area is tiny but if you're lucky to get the window seat and watch the world go by.
