"I went for the first time on 11/01/25 to this very busy and bustling with energy cafe, on a very cold -3 on a Saturday lunchtime.
Staff had great customer service & were acoomadating as they don't usually do an egg and bacon panini, which, in fact, was one of the best I've had eating out. I also had a very nice Cappuccino 😋.
Both came to £6.95 which I think was great price too.
I totally recommend this cafe, and I will be back.
Wheelchair accessible may be a problem!
Hexham can get quite busy and for parking, but I used my blue badge on double yellow lines outside the cafe.
The market was on today ,so parking in the main square wasn't possible. But Hexham has quite a few parking areas."

"We went to this place for a lunch and a cake, sat outside as the weather was good.
Served quickly and the food was tasty and fresh. Should have got butter on my sausage sandwich as didn’t want sauce, but was tasty.
The cakes were priced well and really tasty too"
