Not FODMAP friendly. Both our meals had things we couldn’t eat in them. They said they get their chips from the local supermarket but then charge $10 for them.. though they had said they couldn’t get any- as I was looking over at another table that had some. Very nice interior though, suits an older female clientele.

Loved the decor and ambience. Waitress/ kitchen was slow and one order came before the other. I had fruit toast with was a very thin slice, got cold quickly (as I was waiting for my friend's order to arrive). Most cafes serve a lovely thick fruit toast! Teapot was very small as were the cups. It was nice but not fabulous.

I went there for a little birthday catchup. The food was amazing. We ordered the harvest platter and some croquettes and arancini. They certainly did not disappoint. The place has a great ambience, a lovely comfortable place, that I will definitely come back to.

This is a must book place as it’s tiny and only seats around 20 people. The food was delicious and the service was friendly and efficient. The cakes are worth the trip alone and the coffee was good.

We were seated in the nook and felt that we were forgotten at times with our service. We decided to share platters and food , felt it was expensive for what we got. Last time we ordered if the menu and felt this was better value. Also felt the menu was rather limited this time 😞

Can you please give me more details so I can better understand your rating. This obviously makes our business look terrible when we work so hard to create a lovely experience for our guests. Please let me know so I can work this out! Kindest regards, Sam
