Second visit disappointing. My daughter ordered a gluten free toasted sandwich and I ordered a quesadilla, both containing chicken. The chicken was extremely dry and chewy. Thought we’d found a gem after first visit but probably won’t return.
Excellent Gluten free pies and gravy, YES PLEASE!
Not just a gluten-free option, there were multiple GF options.
Best part, it was excellent. Some obvious thought was put into their development.
A simple lunch that provided a simple pleasure.
Will definitely be back.
Have a lovely gluten free breakfast at the Cozy Club. Had a table overlooking the street and a great server. Very much enjoyed the meal and they were careful with gluten cross contamination so I didn't get sick
A busy bustling cafe where you're likely to trip over the staff on the stairs, ehichmight help explain why service speed was ..... sedate.
However, they are very on the ball about what is in their dishes it's why once was served and was able to ask about dishes without garlic they got back to me fairly promptly with an apologetic No. After suggesting that maybe they cancel the drink order then and we'd move on the proprietor came over and checked what I could eat and sorted out a plate of tasy gluten and garlic free food, and you can't complain about that, especially when not charged for it too. M9nd you I never did get the lemonade I'd ordered.
So the little negatives are outweighed by generous portions, and friendly, knowledgeable staff in a comfortable environment. Would go again.
THE BEST CAKE I've ever had. It happened to be gluten-free (bonus!). It was almond, lemon, coconut cake slice. And the woman who. Served me was especially nice, friendly and helpful. Thank you!

Delicious food but unfriendly and rude staff particularly to babies/parents.
Gluten free bread available for toasties and great selection of drinks. Great accessible toilet, high chair available and cosy setting. Unfortunately we found the staff particularly unfriendly and unhelpful towards us and our babies. Despite our efforts ie packing up some of our buggies and of course making sure the babies weren't disturbing other people and also spending plenty of money with them, what seemed to be the supervising staff member rudely asked us to remove our cups and crockery from a table (out of baby reach) that wasn't being used when there were at least 3 other tables free. Was not provided with an alternative place to put things, just rudely asked to move because they would lose customers. Even after we explained that we would happily remove if anyone came in, they continued to treat us as a bother and unwelcome customers for the rest of our stay. If you are a sleep deprived mama or dad, would recommend steering clear of the agg you would get here. A shameful lack of goodwill.
Incredibly tasty, fresh food for amazing value!
A 'small' box is £6.50 and is absolutely STUFFED with goodness - I had puy lentils, mixed greens, falafal, green goddess topping, and mixed nuts. It was SO delicious, and all gluten free!
So many gluten free and vegetarian (and vegan) options, as well as meat/fish. Highly recommend if you want nutritious, tasty food for great value 😊
Absolutely delicious! Stopped for lunch today and had the chicken tagine - it was very tasty.
They have lots of Gluten Free (GF) options too which is a bonus!
Delightful experience, picked up some pastries for my colleagues, one who’s obsessed with pistachios, one who’s gluten free, and one who’s a chocolate lover - managed to make them all very happy.
Service was brilliant, had a lovely chat with the person behind the till who gave good recommendations, and let me pick the specific pastries I wanted. The pastries are very rich, especially the lobster pistachio tail but it was incredible & huge. My other colleague reported that the Nutella cannoli is her next obsession.
Very good selection even when they first opened.
The staff were lovely and very efficient. The lady with the pink sparkly glasses was so nice. The hot chocolate was different - very creamy and milky and not too chocolatey. However the gluten free brownie was incredible. Its such a cute lil pop up shop!
