👍👍 Really nice cafe. Very friendly and welcoming. The food was tasty. Good portions. We all had breakfast and my omelette was tasty. My friends had a classic English fry up. I liked that they had dairy free (vegan) options available for my toast and omelette. I’ll definitely come back again. People often mention staff, coffee, good, cafe, friendly, breakfast, great, visit, Lovely,

    What a lovely cafe! Clean, bright and modern decor... very comfortable. Friendly staff and fast service. Food was great, coffee was excellent...and loved the cake too. Plenty of parking was a bonus, pulled up right out the front.

    Very poor service we was approached by two workmen who said it was closed when going in. Who lol saying did you see the look on their faces. When we went inside non of the staff seem to want to give us eye contact. Three staff behind the counter and not one served us. First one served customers Infront of us and then went to wipe tables. Second one took her sweet time making coffee and third one hid in the kitchen. We stood at the counter and it was like we were invisible. My mom became very upset when she realized she was not being served and walked out. I had to ask them if they were racist because no one seemed to want to serve us. The woman making the coffee said no we're not racist. Sorry you feel that way and called a staff from the kitchen to come and serve who never came out. So I walked out too. I've never experienced racism like this before. I would not recommend it.

    My first visit I found that the staff were so friendly. Service was speedy, tables wiped before we sat down, we were offered a table further from the door when one came free, prices are very reasonable. There is a parking laybye right outside. Highly recommended, just hope does not get too popular as clearly can get busy at peak times.

    It's not often I can go somewhere and be pleasantly surprised. I'm also quite annoyed simultaneously. Simply only because I've worked in Allesley for nearly 2 years and not come across this gem of a café. Food: freshly made just for you. The BLT in a wrap is to die for. It may be only 5 ingredients, but it is possible for people to still screw it up. Not so at this café. Perfect. There are also freshly made cakes, which happen to be exceptional. Banoffee cake, lemon meringue, Terry's Chocolate Orange brownies, carrot cake, blondies... Drinks: good selection. All good value. Milkshakes if you fancy them. Lovely freshly made coffee, far nicer than the stuff you get in big chains. Atmosphere: cosy. It's a very small venue but the space is used well. Very friendly staff. A nice place to be. Visit, and enjoy it.

    Used to be great, unfortunately seems to be going down hill due to the staff. I been to this place a few times before and the service was great with good food and coffee. Last time I visited this place after the gym, the girl at the till seemed slightly awkward with my order, I paid circa £15 to later realise I was overcharged at least £4. The latte changed and had a funny bitter taste. When I mentioned to the other young lady the overcharge she was quick to try to get it checked with the owner and original girl from the till. However the girl from the till didn’t seem too bothered to sort it out or shown any urgency to do so. Shame really, used to be good, but now avoid

    Black pudding the size of 3 stacked 10p peices, sausage overcooked. Not enough tinned tomatoes tablespoon of mushrooms. Bacon toast and eggs were nice. Need to do more for £7.50

    I was visiting the area and stopped off in the cafe with my partner. Lovely food with high quality, local ingredients and pleasant staff. The cakes are made in house by Charlotte and are to die for! I highly recommend this cafe if you are in the area.

    Reasonable breakfast at fair price. All in all good value for money.

  • 5/5 Kerry C. 2 years ago on Google
    An amazing little find. Nowhere near where we live, but we'll definitely visit again. Hub's had the Mega Breakfast I had a sausage sandwich, both were delicious and the staff are extremely friendly. Immaculately clean and everything is presented beautifully. If you visit, you definitely won't be disappointed.

    Very good. Helpful staff, good food, freshly cooked whilst you wait. 5* if seating was more ample for someone my size..6ft 2", but very clean and tidy with attentive staff and clean customer toilet. Highly recommended.
