“ A true gem, a little slice of amazing nestled amongst the throws of Northampton Town Centre. Amazing food and company x ”
“ Absolutely fantastic lovely cafe, inside looks so clean and fresh and bright. Really lovely wide selection of good food options on their menu all price really well. I had the breakfast which tasted great with great quality ingredients. The staff are super friendly and are really nice. ”
“ I thought this Cafe was superb. *Please note that the mayo on top of the food in the picture was my addition and not served that way* A warm welcome from staff and a can do attitude for my requests. For example, I didn't want leaf salad so they offered to make me a fresh lettuce based side salad, which was really nice. Excellent Jacket potato with various toppings, all freshly made.... and finally, a cafe that didn't cheap out on the cheese!! Extra points for that. There was such a friendly warm atmosphere in there and I look forward to going again. Pricing was reasonable considering the extra toppings and drink, I didn't feel like it was cheap nor did I think it was expensive. As I mentioned, the ingredients were more premium and so that gets taken into account when considering value for money, and I feel like this was just right. CONS: - None. (really, there was nothing wrong at all even if I was being super picky) Summary: A must visit and a true credit to Northampton. ”
