"Set in an historic building, attached to a local museum this could so easily have become another drab and dreary ‘old school’ cafe. In fact it’s far from that. Bright, airy and always with a great vibe whether it is busy or on a quieter...moment, with visitors invariably met by a smile and polite conversation from the staff. It’s crisp and clean and with an outdoor area too for those brighter days. A great selection of loose leaf tea, coffee, chocolate as well as tasty bites to eat from biscuits, through cake and scones to sandwiches, soup and Buddha bowls. There’s even an alcohol licence and a basic selection of wine, beer and local gin for those looking for a drink with a bit more kick."

we enjoyed our suppe, curry and drinks. flapjack a little underwhelming, and maybe had desicated cocosnuss, in which not my favorite.

Lovely cafe in the old school house/st barbes museum just off the high street . Great selection of home made cakes and food . Very reasonable price. Dogs welcome which is a bonus. Highly recommend.

Stop for coffee and cake. sit both inside and outside with table service. the waitress was very friendly and fast. Cappuccinos were strong and hot and cake very nice. the atmosphere in the inner was pleasant and did not feel crowded.

We stopped here for lunch and sat outside on the terrace. Very help and attentive staff. Huge choice of hot and cold lunch options. Delicious food we had the cheese ploughmans, toasted ham cheese sandwich and a tuna mayo sandwich. Lovely fresh bread...and generous portions.

As regular customers of Costa we thought we would give this a try but we will not be returning. The coffee was just about warm enough but devoid of any real flavour as was the cherry Bakewell cake. The first time we have left both...coffee and cake. A shame as we prefer to use independent where possible but will be using Costa in the future.

I went here for lunch last week and said to the lady serving what do you recommend . She immediately replied the steak pie . So steak pie it was. With a cup of tea it was just over £10 which did make me wince a bit....However I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for. I really cannot fault any part of that lunch. Peas and carrots had clearly just been cooked and both were of good quality. Mashed potato, seasoned correctly and no lumps. Now to the Pie. Excellent pastry, no soggy bottom here!. Packed full of large pieces of meat with no fat or gristle to speak of. So would I order it again at that price?. In a heart beat.
