Had a delicious oat hot chocolate, vegan sausage roll with my friend. Beautiful shop with lovely gifts and cards. Staff were lovely too. Cafe and shop are cosy and very sweet. A hidden gem ✨️
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!
What a place! The energy and creativeness is so beautiful. Starting with the wall designs, to the plants in the cafe, the stunning shop and the vegan scone was to die for! The waitress was very friendly and it was super peaceful. Debbie the owner who I had the pleasure of meeting was so friendly and I loved to hear about how the business started. I love to support local independent businesses 💕 I can’t wait to return. Thank you so much Chelsea x
We had such a wonderful time at Debbie’s doing a dried flower embroidery experience with afternoon tea. Debbie was so warm and kind and gave us great direction, and we loved how our creations turned out! The afternoon tea was delicious and plentiful. The gift shop is also full of beautiful things. A wonderful Christmas present for my mum and we will be back!
