I treated my mum to a very enjoyable craft experience here. The activity was well designed and appropriate for the amount of time. The staff were very attentive and quick to help with a few tricky bits. I appreciated the fact that they did not rush us out and let us stay a bit over our time to finish. The drinks and sweet treats were the perfect accompaniment! Highly recommended.

The cafe here is superb. I first visited a while ago after noticing it when at the shop on the ground floor (It is above Tokenhouse gift shop). People do come here as a combined craft and cafe session, but I was just looking for a cafe. What a great find. My visit last weekend reminds me to post a review. Again just using the cafe - superb light lunch - really nicely cooked and obviously great quality ingredients. Lovely service. Good range of choice on the menu. Excellent value because the quality shines through. Environment in the cafe is spacious and calm, so it's always a nice relaxing place to go. Makes use of stylish retro crockery which sets off the food and drink nicely too. I can highly recommend it. Some tables being used by people for a crafting experience, which they were obviously enjoying, but that in no way intrudes if you are just making use of the cafe for a light lunch or tea etc. I suppose it's a bit like a traditional tea room in the heart of the city centre - in all the best ways!
