“The Perfect Breakfast Burrito” lived up to its name. Coffee was great too.

Great new cafe for the outskirts of Banbury! The menu is slightly on the expensive side but they have good portions to fill you up. The full English wasn’t the best I’ve ever had but the mini hash browns were to die for, I’ll definitely going back just for those! The plates coming from the kitchen all looked incredible so I’m excited to go back and try more.

We had been looking forward to this coffee shop opening and it was totally worth the wait! The portions were generous, the coffee was delicious, and the service was super friendly. We’ll definitely be going back!

I had an amazing experience here for a first time, quite pricey, but such an inviting environment and I would definitely consider travelling out for this again. I was attended to by a very kind 'ash'. She made the experience even better with her great recommendations of cakes. Great place, great food!

I was surprised by the negative reviews, it is definitely worth visiting and trying yourself to make your own mind up. We've visited on a number of occasions, the food has always been lovely, generous portions we could not finish. The tots were as you'd expect them to be in the US. Staff are very welcoming and good with kids. Lots of options for kids, the pancakes are very good. The prices are quite standard for this type of venue and I didn't feel it was overpriced for what we received. Though the week I've also visited for lunch and to do a bit of work on the side, great venue for this too. Dogs are very welcome both inside and out. Coffee is good quality and they are very good with allergies.
