Bought a dozen of their mini sized fruit custard tarts and chocolate eclairs after a recommendation by a neighbor. Lovely and fresh and not too sweet. Delicious and inexpensive. Had a coffee while I was there, also good and service with a smile. Will be back.

Reliably good and tasty, very classic flavours. Can tell they use fantastic butter, which is crucial! Service and atmosphere is efficient and practical.

Excellent service. Bought many desserts here. Their blackforest roulade is a crowd pleaser and so reasonably priced. GF mudcake is a good one too if GF is needed. And I can never leave without a couple of little eclairs.

Just passing by and popped in. Quite a noisy little shop, not a spot for a quiet cuppa. Chicken and leek pie was over seasoned and salty but the mini eclairs definitely made up for it

Delicious pies and pasties (including vegetarian), cake, torte, pastries, hot drinks, soups, all served up with friendly efficiency at this popular shop. Enjoyed our lunch and dessert very much.
