Just opened (May '21) so I popped in for a coffee and bacon roll for breakfast. It was a good flat white and the bacon was cooked pretty well, not too tough but still a bit crispy. Looks like they have a decent selection of sweet and savory food there as well as local pickles & condiments etc, so i'm looking forward to trying more.

Lovely little cosy cafe! Nice staff! With really good take away food. If you come during the week, it's quite empty and can enjoy some time at the place as well. No toilets though, just fyi, as mainly a take away place

A nice little cafe and super friendly staff. If you're a chocolate lover, then this is the place to come. Brownie was delicious and everything you want a brownie to be. And the millionaires tart was thick and rich. Lovely place to sit aswell (bare in mind they don't have a toilet though).

This is a winner winner chicken dinner! A roast in a Yorkshire pud wrap! Genius idea! So fresh & tasty! I’ve also had the baguettes filled to your choice of meats/vegan option of course! Delicious cakes along with plenty of gf choice aswell. The staff are so friendly happy & polite, only a few mins to wait whilst they rustle a nice hot lunch. Perfect this time of year when you need a warming lunch. Fab spot a few mins walk from the cathedral but we’ll worth it. They also offer a delivery order service at the weekend for a roast dinner is a big Yorkshire pud! What else can they pull out of the bag at the food vault!
