Visited here last Sunday for a scone and coffee. Got a lovely cherry scone and butter and a portion of good jam that we were given without asking. The service by a young waiter was excellent and we watched as all tables were cleared and cleaned thoroughly when patrons left. No hesitation in recommending this cafe and the rest of the menu looked great as well. We will be back. View all feedback.
