    2 bacon sarnies a double expresso and a latte for £11. Delicious. Would recommend you try it if you are passing. Have a look at the attached menus

    Nice little place to get a cracking toastie or panini for lunch, loved the fact that it is served with crisps and salad for such a reasonable price. Everything is fresh tasting and the staff are nice and friendly. All good

    We held a fundraising evening for Marie curie and the service we received was so amazing. The staff made us all feel so welcome, they were all so friendly and helpful. They helped in making the night a massive success, nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend to everyone, I can't wait to go again.

    We called in whilst out walking and only had coffee ( this time ) and I was impressed ... the coffee was full of flavour and decent sized cups. On the next table they ordered bacon sandwiches and they looked so good ... next time we visit we are definitely having these with our drinks. Staff were nice too. So overall no negatives.

    Fabulous food, wine and lager at very reasonable prices. Specials menu changes, excellent choice of food. Pulled pork with cheese in wraps was delicious. Definitely will visit again after our 3 mile walk through country lanes 🚶

    Couldn’t rave enough about this place! As someone who is coeliac and lactose intolerant I normally find it so difficult to find anything that I’m allowed to eat but this place is a gem for people like me! Adjustments can be made (gluten free bread etc) so I don’t feel like I have to have a below par meal whilst everyone else is having something really nice! 😊 they are so thorough too in checking 100% if you’re allowed things before they serve it to you!

    Delicious breakfast in the morning at a good price, plenty to choose from. Also came for drinks in the evening which was a great atmosphere and good music. We have signed up to quiz night next Thursday eve!! :-)

    Found this accidentally and so glad we did. Was looking for a bacon sandwich but opted for the full English, so glad i did. Cooked to perfection and served piping hot. Coffee was also delicious. Highly recommended.

    Fabulous place to meet up for a drink or coffee, serving nice lunch meals and treats. I don't live in Wrose anymore however I wish this had been open when i did. I have visited twice so far and both times were so nice. The staff are lovely and really helpful. Its just a great place to come over and meet with old friends and family.

    This is a gem of a cafe / bar . Food delicious , service very good and cakes to die for. Had the toffee cake today excellent . We try a different cake each time we visit and we haven't been disappointed at all . They serve their own blend of coffee beans which I am told is superb. Give them a try , well worth a visit

    Lovely place and staff. Had breakfast, expertly cooked by Maureen! Friendly regulars make for a nice atmosphere. I will call again and recommend a visit.

    Lots of great things about this place. However, a few things we were disappointed by. Came in at lunch time for a panini and black coffee each. Fairly quiet and took 15 mins for our coffees to come and over half an hour for our food. I ordered the tomato, pesto and mozzarella panini which had no tomato and so tasted very bland which was disappointing. Also no loo paper. My boyfriend's food was very tasty though. Would come back but just for drinks as it was a nice setting inside and looked to be a good range of drinks.

    I went for afternoon tea with my friend today, and it’s the best afternoon tea I’ve had and great value for money. There’s such a lovely atmosphere inside and the staff are so friendly.

    Lovely venue, I used the library many moons ago. It was very busy Monday at 15:00. Wonder staff, cake gorgeous and coffee. Heartily suggest others will enjoy it as well.

  • 5/5 Lisa D. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this place, staff friendly, have been for lunch and on an evening, food just on lunchtime but is such a lovely place to come for a few drinks on an evening as well. Lovely decor inside and just feel really welcome when we go in, definitely a fabulous addition to wrose.

    Ladies lunch today! Really pleased we chose this venue. Superb service by the ladies running the cafe. . Had teas & coffee plus various lunches between 5 of us. Super value & great food. Also had a take out of home made carrot cake and the feed back from a cake connoisseur is- fantastic!! The lemon cloud cake was also delicious 😋
