Another new café option recently opened in the area. Now almost spoilt for choice at breakfast / brunch / lunch. ( sadly still miss Mathers in Gatley.) Flic took me there for brunch. Good americano (£2.90) followed by the small breakfast. (£9.25) Boss had a cheese and ham panini. (£9.45) All enjoyed the food. Nice interior in what was a ladies hair salon for many years. Seems to have got off to a good start.

Whilst out looking for a decent breakfast I came across this place. Take away full breakfast for £8.25 including toast. Good portion at this price with the beans in a separate carton. The only thing missing is black pudding & maybe some sautéed potatoes . Overall a decent breakfast from a nice little cafe with friendly staff. Definitely go again.

I'm not at all surprised that reviews are 5 stars. What an amazing place, served by Laura who was warm , bubbly, informative & helpful. The place was very clean, toilets, cutlery etc. Food was very tasty & fresh, Fab choice, you can eat anything on their menu any time of the day. Takeaway is also available. Portions are huge! The prices are great too.
