We visited the cafe today on the recommendation of a family member. Our party consisted of two adults and a five-year-old.
The cafe is very light, airy and open. There are steps leading to the cafe but there is a lift available to those who need help or are unable to climb the staircase.
There was a lovely selection of food available and most importantly to me, there was a range of delicious gluten free cakes. This is the big highlight to me being gluten intolerant as normally I have to have prepackaged things and it was nice to have a proper slice of cake on a plate.
The staff were friendly, attentive and only too happy to help, the prices were extremely reasonable, the coffee was delicious and it was nice to see a selection of proper traditional drinks available as opposed to just Coke and lemonade on draft.
Another big highlight was that the back room had been opened up and there were arts and crafts available for the children to make a selection of gifts for Father’s Day; cards, doorhanger, ties, a moustache… This is a major bonus point for me having a 5 year old daughter who can sometimes get bored sitting at a table while the adults have a cup of coffee. The crafts were all free but there was a pot for donations towards additional materials the cafe needed for younger visitors and for autistic visitors to bring in additional materials which I thought was fantastic. There was also the option to give feedback on your experience and recommend of the things you would like to see the cafe do.
I think this little gem is wonderful, I can’t wait to go back and enjoy lunch and it’s definitely somewhere I would visit again. There was parking outside on the road but it’s also just a couple of minutes walk from the top of town roundabout as well so very easily accessible.
Very nice visit to the cafe. A relaxing atmosphere with friendly staff. The food was delicious. Will definitely go again.
Nice little café within the museum, friendly service & nice atmosphere. Plenty of choice.
