Coffees, teas, organic cola (good bottle refill diluted with water!)
Date slices, Hummus toasties, bowl of olives, 3-bean burrito
How was it?
Good tasty food, friendly staff. Waiting for table, getting the orders through and served as well as the time required to eat through the massive portion made this the longest cafe stop we could envisage. Downside: Bacon cravings will not be fulfilled :-)
Cost/Value for money
Expensive as far as cycling cafes are concerned but that’s OK. This place is quite special.
Facilities for cyclists
Well furnished and friendly bike shop on 1st floor. cycle parking limited to leaving bikes by the side alley.
