Great wee cafe. 3 of us had the Great Western breakfasts. Food was piping hot, tasted great. Service was 10/10 from the girl serving and cooking. Would recommend

Reviews
Great spot, just disappointing meal. Ordered a great Western breakfast and a flat white. Generous portions, but dish was inundated with oil. I could almost taste the bacon through the excessive grease. Black pudding was spoilt, resembling more of a mush. Eggs overcooked and sausage was a sponge of fat. Beans and tomato however, were spot on. Staff and service was great, and a nice humble spot. Hope this helps.
Read on Google MapsI recently ordered a tea, and I must say the drink itself was really good — I enjoyed it. However, I was quite disappointed with the customer service. The staff member gave me a dirty lid, and when I politely asked for a replacement, she claimed there were none available, even though there appeared to be plenty behind the counter. I hope this can be addressed, as the quality of the product deserves better service to match.
Read on Google MapsHad an issue with my take away order, tried to call to get it resolved. Owner phone me on her day off and had the issue sorted within seconds. Great service from the owners, they clearly care about their wee cafe!
Read on Google MapsWent for coffee and a muffin and asked what type of muffin it was as there was no label but the ladies in the front had no knowledge of what they were serving which honestly was funny to me and I was nit even bothered. The place has nothing special or extra, only your average shop that serves different greasy rolls, coffee, and sweet bakery.
