Lovely cafe - really amazing range of treats, and the whole place is 100% gluten free, so as a Coeliac I can be super comfortable that it’s completely safe. They have a huge array of different food that frequently gets mixed up, far better than the typical single sad gluten free brownie you get at most places. My favourite so far has to be the pistachio stuffed cookie - absolutely amazing. They also do a delightful afternoon tea, which is absolutely HUGE!

What a delicious treat! I have never felt more included as “the gluten free friend.” I was hesitant to book afternoon tea as usually the gluten free version feels like an afterthought. But it makes sense that a fully gluten free cafe would not have this problem. The drink options per person were: 1) unlimited tea (any flavour) or 2) one hot drink that isn’t tea. You don’t have to choose the same as your friend. I did have to go up and request more tea for myself rather than being asked at the table, I didn’t mind doing this but just be aware you can do this, so that you aren’t waiting and miss out on extra tea refills. The sandwich was tasty (cheese and chutney) but the cakes were incredible!! Both visually appealing and scrumptiously delicious. Flavours of all the desserts included lemon, raspberry, coconut, almond and blackberry, so very fresh and summery. There was a coconut truffle, a lemon meringue tart, sponge cake, and a few others I don’t remember the specific names but they were amazing. And look how mega that scone is! Massive portions so we had to take ours home in a takeaway boxes. I wonder if it’s possible to order 1 tea between 2, I would probably do this next time, and just order an extra main sandwich or something. There is also the option to get a quiche instead of sandwich, and a dairy free option too. I will definitely be back! Thank you SO much YayLo! ❤️

Ordered a birthday cake for my daughter who is Gluten Free and also has a dairy allergy. It’s not the cheapest cake by my god it was money well spent and she absolutely loved it! Thank you so much Richard for your help, Jade said it made her feel great as everyone was able to eat the same cake so she didn’t feel ‘singled out’ Would highly recommend 😊
