Lovely little cafe, with great staff. It's suffering with the pandemic, in that the staff who used to work in the building are now working from home, so the trade has slowed and the cafe now shuts at about 1pm. The sweet guy that runs it is having to work two jobs. It was always a haven of peace and restfulness in a stressful place - carefully chosen furniture and decorations, for a secluded vibe within an otherwise busy location. It's terrible that it's on limited hours - when the cafe's closed, the building is a bit grim. As it's in a health trust, the front door is locked which could be putting off custom, but you can press the buzzer and ask to be let in. Jacket potatoes, people - the kings of lunch! It's a shame people aren't coming in - so close to the college, you would think it would be really busy.

We just called here for the first time for lunch in our dinner break. It does not look open but it is. What a lovely surprise! Lovely warm, spotlessly clean and welcoming cafe. There is a limited menu at the moment but there are gorgeous freshly cooked jacket potatoes with lovely fillings and yummy fresh toasties and a wide variety of drinks and snacks. The young man serving is very friendly, helpful and nothing is too much trouble for him. Really enjoyed my lunch for the first time in ages and we will be back. Will be highly recommending too.
