Cafe Fresh in Fife

Best breakfast in town. Great service and very friendly. Great choice of food and drinks. Been a couple of times and it beats 90% of cafes/restaurants in Dunfermline. Would definitely recommend cafe on the cobbles Dunfermline.

Visit here all time when I visit dunfermline staff are friendly sandwiches are brillant. 100% be visiting back here soon.❤️

Very friendly cafe which has separate gluten free menu - good options for breakfast or lunch or cake time. I had best gluten free breakfast (included Lorne sausage, haggis, black pudding, bacon, egg, gf toast) since being diagnosed with coeliac disease 5 years ago. My wife had pancakes and bacon from the main menu and said it was delicious. And prices were good. Well worth a visit if in town.

An excellent coffee and cake break while visiting Dunfermline with our small group tours. A fantastic selection of food & drink with friendly, helpful staff.

Wanted a breakfast early and this place is spot on.great starting point for a look round dunfermline. Liked the charity shops and seems to be plenty of pubs and clubs for a night out.

Excellent, great value and fresh food. Great quick service. Generous portions too. Lots of vegan, gluten free and veggie options. Central location. Would definitely recommend.

Does what it says on the tin We dropped in for breakfast, having read the reviews. We were not disappointed. There is a wide range of cooked breakfast options and a range of delicious looking cakes and pastries. The food was freshly cooked and very tasty. The coffee was excellent and the sycophantic was welcoming and efficient. Good value for money.

Really liked this place. Dropped in for breakfast. Very friendly, clean and comfortable. The owner/manager was a real joy to meet! Food was great as well as being really fairly priced. Try the porridge- it’s fab! Just liked everything about the place- it’s also perfectly placed for the Abbey and tourist attractions but doesn’t use this to ramp up prices. Another indie place that absolutely deserves support.

Lovely place, took my 2 year old and they were brilliant with her. Nice food and really good prices. Would come back.

What a great wee find. Great selection of gluten free hard to decide what to have. The staff were extremely friendly. Will definitely be back

Fancied a cuppa and found Cafe Fresh was nearby. So glad we went in rather than our usual Costa. So much better with the clue in the name. Fresh. Had soup and it was superb. Huge portion of lentil and bacon with crusty bread and butter. Best plate of soup had for a long time. Friendly service adds to pleasant visit. Definitely a place to revisit. The breakfast menu looked awesome. Also very reasonable prices so you will be well catered for without breaking the bank. A real gem for Dunfermline.

Visited today for a bite to eat after parkrun and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, tasty food and reasonably priced too. Will definitely be back

We popped in for some lunch after a walk round the lovely Glen. The cafe was busy, but we managed to squeeze in. The staff were friendly and our food did not take long to arrive. Our food was tasty and we ended up taking some sweet treats away with us. It's been years since I was in the cafe last, but glad we chose to eat here. Hopefully we will be back again soon.

On a day trip to Dunfermline just happened to visit Cafe Fresh. So friendly, excellent service, food amazing and very reasonably priced. Very clean and welcoming from all staff. Would highly recommend. Five stars

Moved to Dunfermline a couple months ago and this is the best cafe in Dunfermline! Staff are great! Very friendly and helpful. Been in a few times and every time has been brilliant. Full Scottish is to die for! ( Cakes are even better lol!) Can never walk past without popping in for a wee treat. Menu choices are outstanding with ranges from Gluten Free - Vegetarian & Vegan. Highly recommend

Hi Folks, Was through from Leith to-day. Really Glad i found ‘Cafe Fresh’ because this is the sort of cafe we are loosing to the not so good ‘So called stylish places like Costa, Nero, etc etc. Was looking for the Old Stephens shop for a pie and coffee, ( But i see they are no longer there, I will be nice and say they where OK ‘but not perfect’ and about the best available... So…. to get back to thee Original…. I needed something nice to eat. Although it does not bother me…. I take on board from talking to single Folks of my age that It’s never Easy for some of us to go into a cafe on our own..’irrespective of our or Gender or age’ Yip that's right folks..’Many of you will identify with me’… I am not a Coffee & cake man or Gregg's or Big mac fan...Just good honest catering does me fine….and I may add with a genuine feeling that you must feel welcome in thee Establishment you choose to Eat/Dine in....………... I was after a hot filled roll to tide me over till tea time. I was not disappointed at ‘Cafe Fresh’ warm welcome as I at first hesitated to go in, and when I Did ‘From the staff at the kitchen Area’, asked and got a First class delicious Bacon roll….with spread on it... A simple act that so many caterers forget these days... I Hate dry Hot rolls...Some believe in going all Gordon Ramsey on me and just dip the roll on the hot plate some thing I will never really understand cos it achieves Nothing apart from a burn on a dry roll... So because he does this and recommends this form of cooking in between changing his Lamborghinis I am much happier with butter or spread on our good old fashioned morning rolls….All be it a certain tongue in cheek in my comment this is the way forward for a Good community Cafe which I will always visit when I am in Dunfermline....

Enjoy coming here for lunch, Sarah and the staff are lovely, food is always fresh and always hits the mark, give it a try.

Serving freshly cooked breakfasts, which we enjoyed. We will save a space for the delicious looking homemade scones next time!

On Sunday 17th April we had a excellent Brunch/Lunch at this cafe. It was quite busy and also had lots of deliveries going out, which is a good sign as the locals like it. We all had different items off the menu and they were...

Love this cafe. Excellent value for money. Staff super friendly. Food superb and the toffee cake is amazing ……actually all cakes are superb, today I had Paradise cake, divine! Great wee cafe. 👍

Very friendly staff, excellent value, great range of gluten free and vegan food. Located near the palace and abbey. Highly recommended

Tried a few breakfast options in the town to break up working from home. This Cafe is the best I've come across, great breakfast, good value, friendly staff. Thank you, will be back!

Lovely little cafe owner was lovely and accommodating allowing our little dog outside and even giving her a little treat which was just lovely. We stopped in for coffee and cake all was lovely would recommend and will be back when visiting the town next...

Great choice, service, portion size and value for money. Great choice of gluten and dairy free options. Really friendly and clean too.

Visited a few times recently and the staff and have been so friendly and helpful. Food is good quality and portions are generous. Will definitely be back.

A lovely takeaway coffee & biscuit brightened up a rainy walk with my pups. I felt really safe waiting outside for my coffee, with sanitiser and contactless payment on offer. The lady who served me was really friendly too. I’ll definitely be back again soon!...

We’ve just had a fantastic breakfast at the hidden gem cafe Fresh. The staff couldn’t have been more welcoming and accommodating and the food was delicious. Nothing was too much trouble and they made it so relaxed for us with the children. Can’t wait to...

We tried when it was the Eat out to Help out scheme was running - will definitely go back - food and staff were lovely - ideal for a light lunch and cheesecake was amazing

This cafe is amazing, the staff are lovely and the food is delicious, my dad, who is also the manager of the cafe, took me and my siblings to see the cafe and I had the most delicious Oreo cake ever invented. Dad, you are the best cook in the world xx

Popped into this cafe just off the High street in Dunfermline for a cuppa as we had been shopping and it was a really cold day , the board outside said 2 drinks and 2 cakes for £5.50 so that’s what we opted for ,my wife had a large slice of banana cake and I saw this cheesecake and said I’ll have a slice of that Well when it came I was surprised how large it was and it was absolutely the best cheesecake I’ve ever had on top of that the two pots of tea were also large ,good service to boot ,definately a must try Will Be Back

Had passed by many times but decided to try out Cafe Fresh. Lovely attentive waitress and all staff Had a lovely prawn Marie rose wrap and a chicken mayonnaise wrap. Full of prawns and chicken and wee side salad was fresh and dressed nicely. Coffee was great too. I’d say the prices are very competitive and even though most foods are made to order we did not feel we waited too long. I’d say if you haven’t visited it’s a must. We certainly will be back !!

Three generations visited today for a mixture of breakfasts and lunches. Staff were very helpful,friendly and efficient.The food was excellent and great value for money. The cafe is child friendly too.

I was delighted to eat at this place the other day while visiting Dunfirmline and have Scottish Stovies with oatcakes and coffee. Both were up to a great standard and staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend this if you happen to be in Dunfirmline and are willing to give a non-chain cafe a try.

Care Fresh is a great place when you are looking for a place that is quiet and cozy. They have good tea and coffee, plus standard sandwiches and salads. I appreciate the fact that it’s easy to duck into when you need a place to sit and people watch. They do make a great flat white!

After visiting the Abbey I dropped in for a delicious piece of Cherry Cake and a cappuccino . Friendy staff with good banter among the customers and a great view of the gargoyles on the City Chambers opposite. There are dining tables upstairs as well . .The usual menu ,sandwiches toasties and breakfasts with a few specials at lunchtime ,stop and watch the world go by you wont regret it

Fancied a coffee, so dropped in to Fresh at the Kirkgate. Small cafe, with seating indoors and also outside al fresco. Very clean, Two pleasant ladies serving. They had a good selection of cakes, both individual and on cake stands waiting to be portioned. I am advised, they are home made and also some sourced from a local baker. Also, a lovely selection of fillings for sandwiches, baked potatoes being made as we visited, including a very fine mixed salad. They all looked fresh as a dew kissed daisy. Will return again to eat here again and only negative was that it got quite warm indoors. It is a small premises and with the ovens going, plus it was a warm day...... That said, an ideal venue for a cool day. All in all it was a great little place and the prices were very reasonable.

We were pleasantly surprised to find this wee cafe, where there was a warm welcome, friendly service, , freshly made sandwiches and fine coffee,

Visiting the Abbey and found this lovely cafe. Wanted a coffee and a scone so had a warm blueberry scone with butter and jam. Discovered later that it also had seating upstairs as there was only room for a few tables inside the door.

Being in town early my wife and i stopped in for a roll with square sausage. The sausage was thin and dry, not freshly cooked, and not of any quality. The roll while fresh, was twice the size of the sausage which was lost inside it.The manager joked about this fact but it meant my wife had to pull chunks of bread from the bun before getting close to eating any meat. These things aren't difficult to do well, and with so many cafes in Dunfermline I wonder how places can risk not trying to be the best around? You only get one chance at a first impression after all.

If you’re looking for simple uncomplicated food that is home cooked then go for this instead of one of the chains. The folk are friendly and attentive and the food is simple and good. Shop local , buy local and support local.

Chose thus place on the basis of previous reviews and I was not disappointed one bit. I was a Saturday visit to Dunfermline's Pittencrief Park (a lovely place with a great history). I had a goats cheese salad, and was served a very generous plateful of which I enjoyed every bite - olives, peppers, rocket, cherry tomatoes. Served with some nice wholemeal bread. Don't usually do lunch but this was a great change of habit. Won't bother looking elsewhere if I come back to Dunfermline again.

Popped in for lunch, having passed it many times before. Friendly table service, ordered soup and a panini with tea. Lentil soup was lovely, tuna mayo toasted panini lovely and light and enjoyed the tasty side salad too. Purchased a snowflake slice ( Culross primary enterprise) to take out when settling up which was lovely too. Will be back.

Visited Cafe Fresh on 3rd December 2018 on a cold wintry morning and was welcomed with a smile - the staff are really kind - I only had time for a coffee - the food looked amazing and I'll hopefully be back for lunch sometime soon.

As someone who visits Cafe Fresh on a weekly basis where possible, I felt compelled to write a review after reading the comments from Yvonne K. The lunches served at Cafe Fresh are second to none and are all the more enjoyable as they are made on the premises. The salads are crisp and fresh and the best in town and the baked potatoes are delicious. Although not a huge cake fan, the odd time I've been tempted, I've thoroughly enjoyed the home baking (malteser cake in particular springs to mind!). The staff are all very friendly and the cafe has a great atmosphere, which is why my friend and I keep returning. The premises are clean and tidy and quite often it is impossible to get a seat because it is so busy. This café is excellent value for money and definitely one of the best in Dunfermline town centre!

I had the unfortunate pleasure of visiting this establishment where I experienced the worst customer service ever!! I purchased two coffees and two double biscuits at a cost of £10.00 however the biscuits were soft and the icing on top of the biscuit was so hard that it could not be cut with a knife or bitten into.

We enjoyed a delicious family lunch here today with friendly helpful service. We had the upstairs to ourselves so it was like a private dining experience. Fresh food cooked from scratch and tea properly made in a pot.

Dropped in for lunch when in town, had not been in here for a number of years so was interested to try it again. Plenty of space to be had, when upstairs for a table with a view over the City Chambers across the road. They had just what we were looking for with a Soup and a Sandwich. Ordered the Pea & Ham Soup and a Goats Cheese & Roasted Vegetable panini. Wife had the same but went for the Black Pudding and Apple panini. The two staff were helpful and friendly, food came in good time and was tasty, well presented. Was tempted to follow with a coffee and one of the tempting cakes on display downstairs but resisted. The Salted Caramel cake looked very good, will just have to go back. Does make a good alternative to the usual chain coffee shops in town.

Popped in for a couple of breakfast rolls, staff were friendly and welcoming. Plenty tables free when we visited, maybe because it is a little bit out of the way at the bottom of the town centre towards the historic quarter. Ordered quickly, had sausage on a roll. Not premium sausages but we’re well cooked and freshly made on a nice soft roll. Young waiter was a bit uncertain and could have asked us if we wanted sauce or at least pointed us in the right direction. He also somehow brought me coffee instead of tea. Not drank coffee for years but accepted it anyway just for a change, and it did taste nice once I’d adjusted to the bitterness. 2 rolls and a couple of drinks for around £7 seemed about average and was decent value for what we had.

I love Fresh for a hot drink and maybe a sweet bite to eat. It's fun, friendly, and a great alternative to the predictable chains like Nero that are also in Dunfermline's centre.

We enjoyed our visit to this cafe. The guy serving us was friendly and helpful. The usual choices on the menu, with tray bakes and scones too. Nice coffee

Visited Cafe Fresh after a visit to the Abbey Precincts. Friendly welcome and service. Food exactly what we wanted for a quick lunch. Menu nicely varied enough to be that wee bit out of the ordinary.

A visit to this coffee shop is a must , excellent food and staff are brilliant, cant do enough for you. The coffee is out of this world - try the gingerbread latte. Can't recommend this place enough

Very tasty hot filled roll (egg dripping down my arm as I was eating so just perfect!). Great coffee too. Very friendly staff who go the extra mile. Nice changing facilities for the wee man too.

I met my daughter quite early for but of shopping and decided to pop into cafe fresh. It was a delightful morning, we had upstairs to ourselves with a window seat looking on to the city chambers. We had "the very best" freshly squeezed orange juice, coffee, pot of tea and hit filled breakfast rolls. It was delicious, the staff and banter was good. On the way out I checked the lunch offerings and food on display , all fresh ,if I hadn't been so satisfied with breakfast I would have stayed on for lunch too. A really nice place to be in .

Nestled between the City Chambers and Dunfermline Abbey this wee cafe serves some of the best and freshest food in Dunfermline.

Decided to call into nice little cafe, Fresh, and went upstairs and able to get table service. My other half had really nice Tuna Panini while I opted for a hot spicy soup which had some spicy chirito. Soup was great for clearing my head cold and the brown bread was delicious too. I had a cracking good pot of tea and nice art works displayed on the walls which features scenes of the rail bridge etc. Well worth having a tea/ coffee or soft drink and nice straight forward menu.

I've been to Cafe Fresh a few times, and the food is of a different quality every time. The first couple of times I went, the food was awesome and the staff were friendly. On my final visit they served my partner a lacklustre lasagne and I ended up with a bowl of soup that I didn't eat because it wasn't enjoyable. I mentioned this to the staff as we were paying and they told me that they thought their soup was good. The other issue is that Cafe Fresh has very poor ventilation so you'll end up boiling hot.

Hoy cayó en café fresco para descansar mis pies buscando, tienen una inyección de cafeína, y algo de almuerzo para restaurar me después de una mañana de turismo - golpear el jackpot! Personal amable y clientes, ambiente encantador, sopa y café increíble precioso, junto con una buena BLT - y luego anima a quedarse y leer mi libro hasta me sentí listo para salir. No puedo recomendar este café demasiado, y ya estoy deseando que llegue mi próxima visita a Dunfermline y café fresco!

We called in here for lunch with our grandchildren and had paninis, sandwiches and coffee. They were all good and the children shared a piece of home made chocolate cake which they devoured!

Serve breakfast till 11.30am.Had some breakfast rolls which were nice and rolls good and fresh, sat upstairs and had the place to ourselves.Hot chocolate was excellent and so was the freshly squeezed orange juice. No faults. Quick service, food brought quickly. Cherry staff. Would defo go again.Quite a lot of menu options through the day, with a lot of homemade savoury and sweet choices.

The lovely ladies made me another good take away Illy Latte today. I didnt buy a cake this time. cafe just round from the High st. a good stop off before a historical visit to the Abbey and historic quarter.

Fresco que ofrecían dos capuchinos bastante agradable y una encantadora de trozo del pastel de chocolate en nuestra visita. Los precios son muy razonables, el personal amable y las porciones de tarta sin duda son en el lado generoso!

Warm welcome. Friendly staff. Lovely coffee and cappuccino and friends said it was "a good cup of tea'. We ordered two pieces of malteser tray bake and one piece of chocolate chip shortbread. It was disappointing they were not fresh.

Very tasty food in reasonable price, good coffee, friendly staff and excellent location with beautiful view.

Met an old but young friend here for a coffee before my work. I work just around the corner so this is the perfect place for me. I usually grab a coffee and a kit Kat here now and then too. Julie and John and the rest of the staff are always friendly, couldn't be more helpful and there's lots to choose from on the menu. Takeaway or sit in. They can do the odd delivery too if they're not too busy. ... it's a deceiving little place too, looks small on the outside until you realise they have an upstairs too, they even have local artwork for sale in the walls and loyalty cards entitling too to a free coffee!! Prices reasonable, food and coffee great!! If you fancy it they have beer and win chilling in the fridge too.

The staff here are some of the most cheerful I've encountered on a Monday morning! They knew their regular customers by sight and were able to prepare their orders quickly from memory. All the food and drink I had was great and for those who play pokemon go there is a gym opposite!

Lovely fresh selection of food, cakes to die for! Staff are very lovely and welcoming. Seating available inside or outside.

We went here for breakfast when staying in Dunfermline for a few nights, the food was great and the staff really friendly and welcoming. Would certainly recommend popping in.

Go to Cafe fresh for a great snack, it is run by John, he is so cheery and helpful. Terrific atmosphere. Good prices. And cakes to die for

Dropped in at 9.00 this morning for a cappuccino and cake ,nice selection of cakes and tray bakes had the place to ourselves before it got busy .Nice window seat to watch the world go by ,pleasant and friendly service Outdoor seating for good weather and seating upstairs

A cozy cafe in the Kirkgate Dunfermline. Lovely fresh food. Baked potatoes salads sandwiches and paninis as well as daily specials are on the menu. Staff are friendly and good customer service. Illy coffee is great.

Got a couple of takeaway items today. Staff were charming and very friendly and seemed very child friendly. Food was excellent. Will definitely return again to sit in, Prices very reasonable.

I called in after a tour of the nearby abbey and in need of a coffee. The cappuccino I was served with was spot on. A nice big cup of steaming frothy coffee. Exactly what was required at the time. Even better, it was only £2.10, far less than anywhere I know of in Edinburgh.I sat up stairs on the comfy settee with my coffee and spent a very restful twenty minutes or so taking in the calmness of the moment before heading for the train back to Edinburgh. I didn't get to see much else of Dunfermline but the Cafe Fresh certainly gave me a good impression of the town.

Came across by chance. Dropped in for a quick coffee. Friendly staff made all the difference. Will definitely go back.

Dropped in on spec for a coffee today. Friendly welcome and though breakfast was done, they still did some lovely toast for us.Americano's were very good.Plenty of choice and snacks - savoury and sweet. Saw others eating and looked good.Has a license so you can get a drop of vino, bottle of beer or cider as well if you fancy, the salads all looked fresh and we watched them cutting it up.Live music pprently as well. Very pleasant visit and will go back.

Visiting home from Melbourne can prove to be a challenge on the coffee front. These guys at Cafe Fresh have got it right though. Great customer service & great banter!

This is a fantastic wee gem of a place tucked into a side street but it is no greasy spoon cafe this is a Michelin star cafe or it would if I could give it one. The food was fantastic the place is full of character the staff are friendly and polite . The range of food on offer is amazing for such a small place. I would highly recommend trying this wonderful gem of a place out you won't be disappointed.

I frequent here often - at times with my kids. The staff always make me and my girls welcome - even while breastfeeding my youngest. It is a child friendly cafe with things to amuse little ones while waiting . Their menu is really good with a variety of different foods you don't get in others in the area, prepared and cooked by the staff with the shops own recipes. Highly recommend for a nice quiet stop off the high street for excellent food and service from Megan, Erin and Jon.

This is stillMy favourite cafe in town coffee is always delicious and fresh Jon and Erin are always polite and friendly In a natural fun way if I've had a tough shift im always sure il come away from fresh relaxed and ready to get on with my day Thankyou guys keep it up

I visit this cafe on a regular basis and find the food, coffee, cakes and staff all outstanding. Great quality and value for money and with friendly staff means I will keep coming here! I have read a couple of negative reviews of Fresh and can only conclude that these reviewers were having a bad day. Keep up the good work guys.

We were in town for the first time in a few years Iwas born near here and knew it from my younger years so did not remember places to eat We came across this café on our walkabout.So ready for a snack we went in .A very warm welcome from the staff behind the counter and the young lady who advised there were more seats upstairs We were lucky to get a seat on a very comfortable couch the other chairs did not look very comfortable. The young lady advised us on the specials and said she would come back shortly to take our order Which she did My wife choose mozzeralla and roasted peppers on Granary bread When it came in a very short time with a little fresh salad it was polished off and remarked it was fresh and very tasty I had black pudding and apple chutney on Pannina.being a serious lover of black pudding this was the tops it was also served with salad.Coffee was hot and tasty. There was a good looking selection of cakes and several people were obviously enjoying there lunch

Was disappointed, have not been back since. Leave knitting needles and wool within children's reach then tell children off for playing with it. Food is average and not as child friendly as they make out

Come here regularly; great location between the Glen and the high St, really friendly staff/manager. Specials are excellent and well varied, very good coffee, and reasonably priced. Only downside would be lack of seating.

I decided to return to cafe fresh as I had been in the day before and had really enjoyed their coffee.I asked for a soup to take away as it came highly recommended by a work colleague who frequents the cafe most days.I noticed after I had ordered that the lady behind the counter was looking at me as if I had made a terrible smell or as if I had somehow offended a close relative.I asked if it was ok if I paid by card and soon realised that was why I was receiving such a disgusted look.She then preceded to explain that every card transaction cost her 40p and asked if I had any cash. As this was quite a small transaction her loss on my purchase wouldn't in isolation be a problem, but if everyone had the nerve to pay by card it clearly would.Any reasonable person could acceptthis and would of course on any normal occasion endeavour to pay by cash.If she had explained any of this in a reasonable way or had even adjusted her tone to feign a pleasant demeanour I would have had no issue.However, I feel that her discourtesy was a total over reaction. I have never encountered such bad behaviour from anyone that worked in the service industry let alone someone who was certainly old enough to know better.My disclaimer is that I have never felt compelled to complain anywhere. Most poor service can be happily forgiven if you are willing to treat customers with a small degree of respect. Manners cost very little and sadly I would not return here again as they clearly have little or no respect for their customers. Which is baffling considering how small and competitive this sector is in Dunfermline.My final note is that the veg and lentil soup wasn't very good and certainly wasn't worth all the unpleasantness.

This small cafe near the Abbey served the best coffee I have had in the month I have been in Scotland. Didn't have the opportunity to taste their food but it looked really good and other patrons certainly looked to be enjoying it. Very nice spotless bathroom too.

Well situated and with a great choice of cakes and biscuits. The caramel shortbread is also worth a try. Hot chocolate was very nice and comes with the option of cream. Would visit again.

I am a regular visitor to fresh always find the staff lovely friendly and genuine today I thought I'd try the cupcakes chose a lemon cupcake with meringue on top wow delicious so tasty icing amazing and meringue melted in the mouth . Continues to be my favourite cafe in town ! Well done keep it up folks x

I regularly visit this great wee cafe. For several reasons actually. Great service from the excellent friendly staff. Nothing is to much bother. Great fresh food and I love the coffee. What's not to like?

Small café but very friendly, with a good menu and some of the nicest cakes around locally. Can be busy but has comfortable sofa seating upstairs. Outside seating unwelcoming due to inebriated pub users hanging around next door. Overall a perfect little café if able to sit indoors, but our dog often makes this not possible so we have to give it a miss.

We arrived in Dunfermline looking for good coffee and a light snack! Walking from the abbey up the hill came across illys coffee- Café Fresh. As we both enjoy illys coffee it was a no brainer. Service ok, the café windows were steamed up with moisture, upstairs very dated and no atmosphere what so ever. Coffee and orange cake arrived, both were extremely disappointingly awful, coffee bitter, weak and tasteless the cake was dry and not appealing at all. We left having eaten one bit out of the cake and coffee half drunk. We will not go back!

A very friendly atmosphere, good service, and lovely home baked eats. My friend and I go there when in town, and always get a warm welcome.

Has gone here a few times, sometimes coffee, sometimes lunch. Everything is freshly made tastes beautiful and very attentive staff who really look after customers. Nice change

3 of us went in here for a cuppa and chat this morning. Very comfortable atmosphere, nothing seemed too much trouble and its a nice place to spend a dreich morning. If I was being really picky the hot rolls took a little longer than I would have liked, but we were upstairs, so possibly they were really busy downstairs. A couple more comfy chairs would be nice - two on a sofa and the other on a harder, higher seat was a little difficult for us. The two staff were really helpful and service was excellent. We'll be back.
