This place became our local cafe the week we were there. Food is great as are the drinks. Very good rolls and donuts, muffins. The staff are very welcoming and eating in is really nice with plenty of room and high ceiling space. There is car parking down the driveway. As a bonus you can say hi to the super friendly dog. No photos of the place just the dog sorry.

What a beautiful and charming little hidden gem of a bakery. Peaceful and relaxing outlook with delicious and so artistically presented food. We had brunch - if you can call doughnuts and hot choccy brunch!

Delicious donuts and pastries. Staff were friendly. Place was packed by 10:30, no seats left and selling out of some items, so come early. I’d recommend the donuts, cheese cake and muffins. The bread is also good. But I found the latte average and small for the price.

What a magical place to sit and relax and enjoy a drink and sweets!!! I absolutely loved this place. Very yummy things and my ice matcha was lovely, my partner had a hot chocolate and he said it was very hearty. The lady that ruins it was super lovely too!

A beautiful interior with a stunning circle window that makes the space. We were greeted by a sweet dog sleeping calmly at the front door. We both enjoyed a matcha latte. My mom had the matcha (unsweetened) and, I, the matcha latte (little sweet) with soy milk. delicious! They were kind to give her warm milk once she realized the matcha she requested was with water. The pastries are displayed creatively and looked good! Maybe not as many donuts left because of the time but I saw a picture and would’ve ordered one if there were more options still available, so go early! (We came around 1pm)
