Under new ownership so had to give it a go, new owners full of enthusiasm and that is reflected in the menu and coffee. Went for the birria toastie - 10/10, incredibly nice food. Will definitely be back.

Outstanding cafè under new ownership/management (Ben & Jack) - highly recommend visiting 🥰 The coffee was tasty & strong, food was cooked with love & so much flavour, and the new owners were a delight to speak to. Get yourself down for a coffee, meal or chat & support these guys as they certainly know what they are doing! P.s., Photo of food is one serve plated for two to share - portions sizes are generous!

Cutest place ever!!! my friends and I were visiting last summer when we stumbled upon this spot and woahhhh. We loved the aesthetic and the food. Very kind people, wish I could visit again just so I can eat here again!

A delightful quirky little place to eat. Menu is small but caters for everyone. Themed on CS Lewis The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. The food was delicious, the service great, friendly staff. Glad we found this place.
