"Fantastic little coffee shop, we had tea, hot chocolate, and cake. They had a really good selection of cakes and also did meals.We had a fudge cake and Carrott & caramel reasonable portion size, both really nice. The cafe itself is fantastic with quotes from Alice in Wonderland everywhere. It gave that eccentricity vibe. Would totally recommend it if you are in Barnard Castle."

"Lovely staff & always good to have good customer service.
I got a toasted smoked salmon and Avocado with side salad.
Plenty of of filling. Cost £10.70 with the Cappuccino.
The Cappuccino wasn't the best ( to my liking) so I gave a 4 *"
