Great cafe which provides excellent quality food at a very good price. The cakes were delicious staff very helpful and friendly. Get off the high street and walk the 40metres to this place, far better than the chain coffee places that are on the high street

Good coffee, nice cool cafe, and friendly staff. We got the platter and the pie was stale, we were the first customers of the day and the pork pie crust was pretty stale. Their food preparation needs refinement.

Had lunch here, wanted a real Melton Mowbray pork pie, huge pie, freshly made, yummy. Also had cake which was very nice and service was excellent. Tucked away but worth hunting for if you want a nice lunch but no views from the cafe and basic setup.
