On a whim got the pumpkin soup and was glad I did. Hot and delicious. Pies and donuts were also excellent.

Popped in whilst on a roadtrip into this lovely Bakehouse - an absolute pleasure and brightened a long trip! Both staff were friendly and easy going. One made a sandwich up fresh when the options available didn't suit due to an allergy. We also got to try the pork pies. As Brits we judge pork pies very harshly - but in the words of my partner "one of the best pork pies I've ever eaten!". Thanks for your energy and positive outlook gals!

Popped in this morning for a quick coffee at about 6 am with absolutely no expectations and were wonderfully surprised by the welcoming costumer service and beautiful range of affordable cabinet food and coffee. Every staff member we interacted with was lovely and very helpful. Everything tasted very fresh. The steak and cheese pie was DELICIOUS and the breakfast sandwich had some of the best bread I’ve had in a while. Keep up the good work team
