Surprising!. An intriguing name for a cafe but, slightly disappointingly, it's not all tarts! The decor hits you first - black walls and ceiling with fun use of vivid pink and friendly copper - a bit like a funky hairdresser's. The tables and chairs are eclectic, a little sticky but comfortable, some stencil-sprayed to add an arty feel. Plenty for the eye to rest on while you wait for your order to finally get to you! Yes, service was a little slow but not awful. The food was good though - not exceptional - just decent amounts of sensible grub and an inviting array of cakes. Good bread and tea leaves for a change. Staff were a little unfocussed but friendly. All in all, we were comfortable, not crowded out or deafened, and definitely not ripped-off with the bill. Shame about the unisex toilet but I like things to be a little off-the-wall and if you do, give it a go. I'll go back sometime.
Great breakfast. Yougart with berries fantastic. Pancakes were large and totally loved by 7 yo. Porridge was very good. Didn't open till 10 so breakfast was a bit late but worth the wait.
The serving counter in this pink heaven is laden with delicious home made cakes. Macarons, cupcakes, sponges and biscuits to tempt you. Sandwiches and soups are also on offer.
