If you have been then you know how great everything is. If you haven’t.. please do yourself a favour and go. The first thing I was impressed by was the music, the atmosphere.. and then looking at the selection of freshly, on site, baked delights.. my goodness! I bought a section box of their macarons for my sister; and 7 other cakes.. for whoever is lucky enough to call into my house today. A delicious, and piping hot (just as I like it) cappuccino and a mini Bakewell and a pasteis de nata before I left. I’ve found my favourite coffee shop. It’s there for you if you’re as excited about baked goods as I clearly am! Sarah and Sally.. and all y’all.. thank you for making my day better xxx

Delicious cakes & treats. Really fantastic offerings. Only a few seats inside and perhaps some outside if the weather permits. Parking is not too plentiful on-street. Their sandwiches are decent, could do with some more creative inventions, particularly in the veg side.

I love this place, coffee and all the things we eat, it's like a hidden gem in Northern Cross area as all other coffee places are a chain. The staff are extremely lovely and helpful, I'm in love with the pecan pie and veggie toastie here!
