Lovely staff, food, and coffee! Lovely sunny Saturday morning sitting in the window at high table. Toasted tea cake and coffee went down a treat. Lovely staff and very pleasant atmosphere. Dogs are welcome. Plenty of gorgeous homemade cakes too! Much nicer than the chain coffee shops.

What a lovely cafe. I came in today with my mum, sister and 4 year old son, it was our first time visiting, and we will definitely be back. All of the staff were so friendly and the food was yummy! Especially the cakes and sweet treats! I think it's great this cafe was opened with the purpose of providing work opportunities to those with additional needs, absolutely fantastic! Keep up the amazing work guys!

Lovely cafe, with a nice range of their own baked savoury and sweet treats. There are some sofas and table seating, as well as outside seating on fine days. The staff are very friendly and really good with kids. Thoroughly recommend.

My first visit of many many I have no doubt. The warmth and service and feeling of tangible joy in this space is just beautiful. And the food and coffee were equally delicious. The mission is beyond heartwarming. I love when something is so love-led, soul-centred, and also action oriented. Amazing!
