Bella Art Caffe

"This is not a child friendly cafe. Quite the opposite actually. Myself and a couple of mum friends went there for a coffee play date with our little ones and we felt like intruders. It was an early afternoon on a weekday which you would think it’s a prime time for mums and seeing cute little high chairs inside, we thought it was baby friendly. What a mistake that was. Every time one of our babies would cry a little or laugh too loud - we would get an angry look from an owner. When our babies finished their lunch, she came and put them away in a very aggressive way. A couple of days after we’ve left - the owner have posted a photo on a window saying that mothers should keep their babies next to their tables at all times. I think it’s horrible, making new mums under pressure. I wouldn’t come back and advise anyone with a baby to stay away from this place. P. S. Our babies are under 12 months - they don’t know how to walk and don’t wear any shoes - just socks. So please stop lying. Also, we made sure to put high chairs away where we took them from - another lie from you. We weren’t obstructing an entrance, actually we’ve moved to the side to make sure other customers can move freely. Yes, I did take an empty paper cup and offered to pay for it but you told me not to worry. Overall I think you really don’t like babies which is fine (not everyone has to) but maybe best to stop pretending it’s a child friendly cafe as it’s not."

"Food was of good quality, just a shame it was luck warm. Service was very good and prompt. The Caffè was even colder than the food kept jacket on through out breakfast."

"A lovely independent cafe with good coffee and food, and free WiFi. I just spent nearly 5 hours hanging out here while my car was being serviced/MoT'd across the road. This is something I have done on two previous occasions over the last 3 years. Each time I have enjoyed the food, drink, service and atmosphere here. On this occasion I had two perfectly poached eggs and two very tasty sausages on toast with good, strong, tasty coffee for my breakfast. I was able to hang out, having the occasional drink, working on my laptop with their fast, and free, wi-fi. I saw plenty of places to plug in and recharge if needed too. I ended up having lunch here as well, soup of the day, which was spicy lentil, absolutely delicious, and perfect for a cold, wet, winter's day. The fact that this lovely independent cafe is here, will be a key factor in choosing the next place I go for work on the car, and although I don't live especially close I will definitely pop in if in the area."
