Lovely little dog friendly cafe although a little crowded for space they managed to squeeze all 6 of us in. The food was superb and everyone enjoyed everything we ordered!

The tea was served in a small pot with a strainer and tea leaves which is fancy but ineffective as the tea just would not brew but the coffee and smoothies were great.

One of the best places to have a coffee next to the quay. It doesn't have great river views but it has a lovely garden in the back, we went there on a sunday and there was life music, a gentleman playing the gitar so it wasn't too loud.
Amazing cakes ♡♡

It's lovely, great food and really nice people. Did pancakes for our toddlers though they weren't on the menu, bacon baguettes were huge though the extra egg was perfect. Would definitely go back for the sardine wrap, my partner had one and only shared a little! 😐

Absolutely lovely café! The staff are friendly, the good is lush and varied, the desserts amazing! I loved how there were separate seating areas for privacy and they even have nice toilets with a baby change. The view of the canal is a bonus as well. Just a real nice little gem of a find!

Amazing independent cafe in a beautiful location overlooking the canal. Wide selection of homemade cakes and meals with lots of veggie and vegan options. Portions are very generous and won't leave you disappointed. The generosity in the meals matches the attitude of the owners and staff, which makes you feel at home here - not something that can easily be created in a busy cafe. The coffee is also really good quality and the machine and baristas back this up too. More than worth a visit, especially to coincide with a stroll around the quayside. Shout out to the courgette cake too with an awesome cream cheese icing!

A lovely courtyard to sit in the sun. Good options for dietary requests, excellent selection of cakes and goodies. And the Vegan mezze platter was yummy and really filling.

Wow! What a lovely place. Superb soup and coffee today for me and a really decent menu with lots of veggie options. Wish I'd come here before, bit difficult when you're paddle boarding, but if you're walking or cycling definitely give it a try. You will not be disappointed.

Good food. I'd go again. Good coffee. Slow service at busy time, so cakes and coffee came, followed by the savoury stuff half an hour later. But food made up for it. Obviously popular. Nice to spend money with an independent. This cafe has what looks like an accessible loo (few and far between) but in practice could be difficult to get to it. Did have baby change facilities though.
