"I ordered a cappuccino with oat milk and when I got it I questioned whether it was; my friend ordered a latte and hers was frothier than mine. I explained that cappuccinos are usually a lot frothier and the waitress offered to add more froth ... her excuse was that the oat milk the boss buys doesn 't froth well! Evidently he needs to purchase more appropriate ingredients. When it was returned, there was a bit more froth but it was ultimately still a milky coffee (not even a latte! And had been spilled all over the saucer. I also ordered some toast with jam; on the menu it was £2.50. It also didn 't mention butter. The toast arrived already buttered; luckily I 'm lactose intolerant not allergic but certainly not as advertised. Then I go to pay the bill and I 've been charged £4 for the toast! When questioned, the waitress just turned around and asked her boss to speak to me and he said they couldn 't keep changing the menu with all the inflations. I stated that we should have been informed or at least a sign, at which point he pointed out an A4 piece of paper stuck on the wall inside with small print writing on. I 'm not sure it would have been obvious even if we had sat inside, but we were sat outside so we definitely didn 't see it! There was no apology given, and he repeatedly referred to me as lovely clearly in a condescending attempt to placate me. He then passed me off again to the waitress who charged me. I 'm not one for making a scene, particularly in such a small space, and I wholeheartedly support local businesses but there 's a line and they 've crossed it. My friend enjoyed her latte and cake, so perhaps it is only the dietary restrictions and prices that are issues but I dont find it acceptable. In fact, the lack of clarity is quite possibly illegal. I shan 't be returning."

I visited Rosebud cafe and paid £12.00 for 2 toasted teacakes and two coffees. I found it to be quite pricey.

I had an excellent breakfast yesterday at this restaurant. The food was freshly cooked and the home made cake was gorgeous. The staff and owner were so friendly, I would highly recommend this place.

This morning, my mom and I tried this restaurant for breakfast for the first time and we have found our new favorite place to eat! The breakfast was amazing, fresh, and delicious. We can't believe we haven't tried it sooner. The staff was friendly and chatty, creating a great atmosphere. We'll definitely be back soon!

Had to pop into town on Thursday (20/10/22) for a bit of shopping and has was still in town coming up to 3pm decided to have a bite to eat while waiting for my daughter to finish school. Right from the minute I picked up the menu I was made to feel welcome. The place was busy and the waitress was rushed but she still had time to have a joke and chat with the customers and made everyone feel very welcome. The food was simple but very well cooked. I had the veggie breakfast with hot chocolate and cream. It was well cooked and tasted delicious. While waiting for my food I was able to have a nice chat with the gentleman at the next table. I will definitely be going back as want to try their cake...

First time eating at this cafe and I have to say the breakfast I ordered was very good. I have had lots of breakfast's in many cafe's and this rated up there with the best. Inside the cafe is very compact and our table was stuck right in a corner so perhaps not the best spot. The lady who took our order was very friendly and polite. We had a fairly lengthy wait for the food but as we weren't in a hurry it didn't matter. My friend and I both ordered a Full English breakfast. 2 very nicely cooked eggs, two thick bacon slices, a home made cheesy hash brown. 1 good quality sausage, a pot of beans. The only disappointment was the advertised grilled tomatoes turned out to be tinned chopped ones ....

My wife and I had early breakfasts at Rose Budson Wednesday 14.09.22 after an early start from home in Northants. We had seen very good recommendations on TripAdvisor and our expectations were VERY well met! The welcome we received was warm and sincere. It took us no time at all both to opt for the full English traditional breakfast and 2 x coffees. The breakfasts were excellent: lovely sausages, great bacon, 2 x fried eggs, baked beans, cheese topped hash browns and granary toast delicious! The fresh coffees were excellent, too : ! We were also very impressed by how our host [Terry] really looked after the couple on the table next to us, the lady of whom was already 7 months pregnant. Nothi...

It started well with a good selection on the menu. When we came to order our breakfast sandwiches my friend asked how much it would be to add an egg to her bacon sandwich, at which point the waitress advised that the prices on the menu had increased so weren 't correct could only say they had gone up by about 50p. On asking for a sparkling water she advised that had also gone up by 20p maybe 30p, these increases were due to the cost of living increase. When we questioned why the menus hadn 't been updated she advised there were new owners it hadn 't been done yet but that there was a sign on the wall inside the shop advising of the price increase, we were sat outside but to be honest anyone...
