Very cosy, modern cafe and nursery. Good vegetarian and vegan options for food and coffee/ hot chocolate (they have soya or oat milk available in addition to cow milk). This is a dog friendly cafe and they even have doggy snacks! Lots of parking spots and disabled access to everything including toilets. Clearly built with passion! They also have a "pay it forward" scheme and mental health awareness information :) Various community days such as BBQs and festivals are held here in summer!

A nice location for a cafe. Only had a coffee & flapjack but it was tasty. (The sausage rolls looked great) Plenty of bike parking as you can see, but the actual cafe is quite small. In summer I imagine the courtyard area will make up for lack of space inside. Only 1 toilet was a bit of a disappointment. But all in, it is worth a visit.

We throughly enjoyed our first visit today. What a beautiful, quiet and tranquil setting. The cake was absolutely delicious as was the coffee. Our dog Poppy was with us too who was very welcomed and happy to enjoy the water on offer. Super friendly staff too! We will be back soon

What a fabulous asset to a local community. A lovely place to chat and have a catch-up with friends and make new friends too. Well done Tony for all your hard work in the garden centre too. Stunning display of Dahlias and roses. Thank you Tony, Toby and Kate for making this so fab.

It was a great cycling stop. Good selection of cake. Very prompt and friendly service. The huge variety of Dahlias is amazing. It is very clear that this is more of a passion than a business. I will return with my car and, of course, my wife to pick up some of the amazing plants. Very impressed.

Nice spot for coffee and cake. Dogs welcome with provided water and doggy ice creams available also. It's great to see all the planted Dahlias and a great way to see what you're buying with good prices as well.
