Great cafe, lovely friendly staff,good service & good food. Gets busy so might be better to book in advance. 11/03/23 update: Tried lunch today for the first time (usually go for breakfast) and plenty to choose from on the menu. Still great service & food was fab, can be noisy at busy times but that's my only criticism. Highly recommended

Called in midway through our Chaddesden to Little Eaton walk for a much needed coffee. Excellent, really well decorated with a contemporary, clean and airy feel and a really nice outside area.... unfortunately it chucked it down the minute we sat down. Coffee was excellent, smooth, decent strength and moderately bitter, the cakes we ate were superb, we didn't eat anything else; however, it looked amazing...I was seriously tempted. Everyone was really polite and friendly and the place was immaculately clean. Highly recommended.
