"We are just visiting and no 28 looked bright and welcoming. It did not disappoint. I had the savoury cream tea with blue cheese. What a lovely idea, for any cheese lover. My cheese scone was served warm and was obviously freshly made, the flavour was perfectly cheesy. I just wish there was more. I would come back thank you"

"The best cafe in the UK I have ever been. It is so surprising that they have filter coffee on the menu, which the coffee is very nice.
The environment is very nice and relaxing. People will bring their dogs to the Cafe and talk to each other.
The food are very nice. The scone is very soft and the clotted cream are so creamy. With the sausage sandwich, the sausages are fried nicely and crispy, very delicious.
Surely will come back again!"
