I only tried their pastry but it was bomb. I bought it near their closing time but it was still buttery and tasty.. simply amazing. The lady staff was lovely and helpful! They have wide choices of interesting beverages which I’ll definitely try on my next visit

Lovely little cafe with nice staff. My only criticism is that the tea needed more leaves to make it strong enough to drink while it's still not and the juice was over priced.

Lovely little coffee shop just off the meadows. They serve a variety of gluten free toasties - they are made in the same machine as normal toasties but cleaning precautions are taken, so maybe not suitable for coeliacs. Great coffee too!

I'm not a cyclist but that didn't matter much in this cycling-themed temple to the bean. It does feel as though the proprietor and some of the customers are definitely taking this coffee thing seriously, but as a regular latte-drinker who doesn't own any lycra I wasn't made to feel like a heathen. Great pastry and homemade cakes.
