"What a cute little cafe, would easily go in noticed. What you see is what you get but it is cosey and rustic to set a lovley atmosphere. Service can be slow as there was only 1 lady serving. Coffee was so tasty and smooth, highly recommended. Cakes seemed home made also."

"Always a warm welcome, cakes are amazing, toasties always hit the mark and the coffee is great. Really nice to go somewhere unique instead of the usual high street coffee shops. Highly recommend."

"Really nice, unusual venue; basically a modded shipping container! Nice range of snacks and drinks, friendly service and clearly established as a favourite place for a stop off for local bikers. Absolutely loved it, and also being asked by one of the other motorcyclists to move my bike as the chrome tank was blinding him in the brilliant sunshine! A great place for a break, although all the customers there when I visited were motorcyclists I noticed that there were racks for pedal bikes and provision for dogs too. Oh, and the flapjacks are delicious!"

"Called in for a cake and a coffee. The lady owner was really polite and welcoming. The first thing we noticed was how spotlessly clean this cafe is and seating is comfortable with easy disabled access. There's ample parking for bikes & cars and is an ideal meeting place for anyone heading for a run out being only half a mile from M6 J27. The food though limited is excellent quality and the cakes are to die for. If you're not a petrolhead don't be put off, you'll be most welcome. Try it, you'll like it."
