Only discovered this cafe today and it's now going to be my go to. The food was great, the staff were unbelievably friendly and helpful and the prices are so reasonable. It has a lovely atmosphere where you could sit and talk to other customers (who up until then were complete strangers) for hours if you had the time. A true gem of a place
