I was walking past and fancied a bacon roll. It was reasonably priced and tasted amazing. The shop assistant that served me put both ketchup and brown sauce sachets in the bag so I had the choice. Would totally recommend!

This is such a lovely place to eat, its very clean, airy and the decor is lovely too. The couple that run it are friendly and makes everyone that walks through the door feel welcome. I take a lady I work for there and the best thing, her wheelchair will fit right under the table which most places it doesn't. We've only had the toasties on our visits, and they are lovely with plenty of filling. This is definitely our new place to eat when we go into town. Well done guys

Well priced! So, so friendly. They had an unusually busy day when we visited meaning our food came a bit late. However they insisted we each have a drink on the house as a way of apology for the delay! Such good and friendly service. Would 100% recommend!

Cannot fault this place. From the moment we stepped in was a lovely warm welcome from both staff members, helpful service when we asked about substitutions for pastrami in a sandwich. Yummy food and great friendly atmosphere. Even their children were behaving so beautifully at a table. Keep up the fabulous work and good luck in the future- if I was local I’d definitely be back!

Popped in here for the first time with our 2 year old. Straight away felt welcomed by the owners, they were lovely and friendly and down to earth. Had a high chair available for my little one with books etc to keep her entertained. Lovely food with lots to choose from, especially for vegetarians. Will be back for sure and would highly recommend to anyone! Thumbs up from our daughter too!

Popped in on a Saturday morning and was greeted with a very warm welcome. We had a flat white, teas and some cakes. The Victoria sponge was gluten free and was absolutely delicious, and the flat white was spot on. Would definitely recommend!

This must be the best little cafe in Lowestoft, independently-run with a range of coffees, drinks, delicious cakes and toasties, with vegan and gluten-free options - dog friendly, and run by really friendly people who create a welcoming atmosphere and work hard to cater for individual tastes - great coffee, lovely food, excellent value and so much nicer than the soulless coffee-chains. Highly recommended !
