Thought I'd already reviewed here, eaten here dozens of times, had their home made chocolate, cakes, bakes, full English, sandwich's, kids meals, scrambled egg on toast and various coffees. Always exceptional, their scrambled eggs are like my nan used to make (exceptional) had some bakes and cakes today and 5 for 15 I have no idea at the size and quality they make profit!

A delightful little cafe with lovely staff, very welcoming on arrival. We had delicious caramel crunchy bakes, and our cappuccino and earl grey tea were perfect. We plan to go back and have a meal, as we were envious of other people's orders! Added bonus is that it is dog friendly too

The coffee was delicious and served in a beautiful, Instagram-worthy cup – definitely a treat for both the eyes and the taste buds. Unfortunately, there were no seats available inside, so I had to sit outside, which wasn’t the most comfortable experience given the weather. Still, it was worth the visit – hopefully next time I’ll be able to grab a spot indoors!

Great breakfast find in Banbury. Coffee and food quality exceeded our expectations - it's clear the team really care. Went back the next day and had some cake which was equally good. Highly recommended if you're in Banbury and need breakfast or coffee and cake options.

We came here by change coming home from our stay in Oxford. Initially we were going to the cafe next door but they didn’t serve all day breakfast. The breakfast was very delicious. Good quality bacon, sausages, hash browns and bread (toast). We all enjoyed our morning breakfast and the service was welcoming and friendly. The cakes looked delicious too but we didn’t have room in our tummy’s. Would recommend anyone that is stay close by to drop in.
