    What a fab cafe! Food was delicious and arrived fast, the staff were so nice and very helpful. It was a really nice atmosphere and they have yummy desserts too! I did expect them to have a kids menu as I was told it was a very family friendly place by word of mouth, unless we weren’t given it or missed it somehow, the food was all regular portions. So that would be my only slight improvement request!

    Met up with some friends here today. Absolutely loved it! Lovely, chilled atmosphere. The coffee is delicious and the sandwiches are absolutely amazing! The pastrami sandwich is most excellent. Highly recommended!

    Found it walking past and it is as nice a cafe as you could want. I had a avo toast and mushrooms and it was absolutely delicious.

    Only tried a Mocha, nice but a little sweet, I have to say it is very good value as a regular mocha appears to be quite large. So far in Sale: Grapefruit. Propeller. Amphora. In that order for Mochas

    Gorgeous breakfast, amazing service. Not sure if my boyfriend ordered my breakfast wrong or if they didn't hear him through the glass screen, regardless the chef was very kind and changed it for me no questions asked.

    It was our first time here at this lovely cafe, the food was soooo good. The staff were so nice too. I had a sandwich and my little girl had cheese toastie and we took some yummy rainbow cake home with us. It was easy to get to and nice and roomy inside, toilets there too which helped as my 3 year old always decides she needs the loo when we are out. We will be back :)

    I sat outside with my dog, it's not table service but because I was on my own they came out to take my order and so I could pay. Food and coffee was delicious. Thanks guys x

  • 5/5 Ram S. 4 years ago on Google
    Spent an entire day in this cafe whilst my car was in the garage. You go to some cafes and it's too cold to sit and eat but this place was warm inside (just right) which was pleasantly nice as it was mid December. I made sure to bring my laptop with me and some work. Breakfast was really nice, a nice big plate and a coffee which you can't really go wrong with. The place is quite big for an independent cafe and the bathroom was decent too, far better than your average cafe. A cheese toastie for lunch followed as did a cheesecake just before I departed at 1600hrs having been there since 10am. I had a tab open and had spent around £23 in total. WiFi was great, a proper strong connection, not one of these where connection keeps dropping or the bandwidth is too small to surf the internet. Drinks and food were brought to the table and removed when I'd finished with them. Service was great and the staff were polite. There was a constant stream of people throughout the day. Whilst I was sat in there I text my wife and said that I would definitely bring her with me next time. Everything was reasonably priced too.

    First time visit and not brilliant. I was surprised that there were no labelled vegan options (which is strange in 2019), was told to just choose what I wanted off the menu and they could make something work but there wasn't anything of substance - just mushrooms, spinach etc, so it would have been nice if they offered sausages or something filling. Went with avocado on toast (they had vegan spread) and it was tasty but expensive - £6.50 for less than half of an avocado placed on two pieces of toast. Friends were able to have full breakfasts and they were huge yet cost only ~£1.50 more, son had a kids scrambled egg on toast which was £3 but again was more substantial than what I got. Left pretty hungry.

    Food was really good, but because this place is popular the food took ages. Also, likae a lot of places with minimal soft furnishing it is very loud and noisy when busy.

  • 5/5 George S. 2 years ago on Google
    Always brilliant food here, attentive service and a lovely atmosphere. The owner is really nice too. The food is fresh and tasty and the desserts are amazing.

  • 5/5 Aiden 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent food and service, especially with my gluten intolerance. There’s a good selection of gluten free desserts and they can adapt dishes on the menu so they are gluten free as well - definitely recommend!

  • 3/5 Carol W. 1 year ago on Google
    Was expecting great things after reading reviews. Our food was fine, but nothing special.

  • 5/5 Jana B. 4 years ago on Google
    My second visit. Both times breakfast was brilliant. Carrot cake was delicious. Good coffee.

  • 5/5 Joe L. 1 year ago on Google
    excellent food, great atmosphere. Staff very friendly with attentive service and lauren the manager was a delight. Try the lumpy bunny cake it's a great choice, I'll definitely be coming back. :)

  • 3/5 John P. 1 year ago on Google
    I found this place noisy, expensive and weird (the food that is) but that probably says more about me than about the cafe. I don't know the area but this seems typical from what I have seen. The toilet was exemplary.

  • 5/5 Scooby U.K. M. 1 year ago on Google
    Brilliant homely feel, home cooked food was amazing, cakes and cheesecakes looked amazing, I had a piece of blueberry and vanilla cake 5⭐ great service, good prices and good coffee.

  • 5/5 James P. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a lovely cafe with extremely friendly staff. The food is unreal with top quality service, would 10/10 recommend!

  • 4/5 Eudora 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place, very clean although gets noisy during busier times and the table in the booth is so far from the bench, so it's not good for avoiding spills! The cakes are really nice, professionally made on the premises and look beautiful but personally I found too sugary so next time I'll pick something else. A bit pricier than your chain cafes, but generous cake portions. Coffee is good. Panini was so-so. A little underdone. Staff are friendly. I previously went for a big family breakfast meet and it was excellent all round.

    Pleasant laid back place, kind staff, cafe thankfully isn’t pretentious

  • 4/5 Martin B. 1 year ago on Google
    Food really good and tasty, service quick, but and it is a big but the plates were very cold so please, please, please put hot food on hot plates. We had to eat quickly to avoid our toast, poached eggs, sausage, bacon going cold.

    5 stars to everything! Very good food, lovely staff and good prices. Recommended 100%

  • 5/5 Dave B. 4 months ago on Google
    Came here with our 2 year old granddaughter, wife and daughter-in-law for early lunch. The food was delicious, great menu, caters well for kids, lots of high chairs. Very good cafe.

  • 5/5 Joceline C. 9 months ago on Google
    Very friendly atmosphere and helpful staff. The owner is very keen to deliver the best service, generous and reliable. We always feel very welcomed and spoilt. My daughter likes the rainbow cake and the macaroons. Once my card did not work the owner and staff kindly provided the food and said you can pay another time,this was extremely helpful.

    Delicious food at incredibly good value. We've been going pretty much every weekend in lockdown! Our boys love the eggy bread. The cakes are really good too, especially the Ferrero Rocher cheesecake!

  • 5/5 JOHN R. 3 years ago on Google
    This gem in Sale Town centre is simply awesome and well worth a visit. Serving beautifully cooked and presented meals and sandwiches lunchtimes are a delight. Drop in early for the breakfast menu that is exquisite and delicious everytime . This Family run cafe is fantastic and a warm welcome from Arty and his wife Rena is guaranteed . A must are the cheesecakes and sponges baked on the premises . Once you visit you will return over and over again. As a supporter of local business I cannot recommend this delightful cafe highly enough, call in and you will love it and you will keep a local business thriving.

👍👍 Excellent bouldering centre, no longer has auto belays so it's purely a bouldering center. I think it's one of the largest in Europe.
