First time coming here to have lunch today, I came with a client and we weren’t disappointed.
Absolutely lovely, fresh home cooked food. Amazing menu selection and variety of food to offer and the hot drinks - which you don’t often find around here.
Staff lovely, very helpful and friendly. Lovely little place to come with a friend for a natter, not too loud and it is lovely inside. I will definitely be visiting again.- Parking
- Best place to park is long stay at Northgate car park, which is located just behind the cafe.

- I wouldn’t bring kids here due to lack of anything for them to do, but also it’s a nice little hideaway for grownups!
- Price per person

- Wheelchair accessibility
- Steps within the area and not a lot of space so I wouldn’t say it is suitable for wheelchairs which is a shame.

For a healthy, hearty meal this is by far the best food in Louth. Amazing food. It's just a shame it's not open on an evening.

Lovely place to stop for breakfast with a really extensive menu. You can tell it’s cooked fresh and with care. We didn’t get a chance to try the homemade cakes but they looked incredible.

Having read other reviews about the quality of the ingredients on the breakfast my husband and I decided to book here as we would be visiting the area on holiday. The day we wanted to go was the only morning they did not open early, but a message to them to check, resulted in them offering to open early to accommodate us.
We were not disappointed. They clearly use good quality ingredients in their food which made for an absolutely lovely experience. Ten out of ten for customer service and quality food, shame there are not more small businesses out there who care for their customers the way you do.- Meal type

Omg what a gem!! Staff are sooo nice, the place is really cutely decorated too. It’s a little small but there’s still a good amount of tables, most of them are only two seaters though so I wouldn’t recommend large groups going, unless you warn them first. Definitely recommend the hot chocolates, we had the ruby hot chocolate and it’s the best we’ve ever had! Our chicken goujons and chips were also delicious, and staff were attentive throughout. The only downside is that some items are strangely more pricier than others. For example, toasties with chips are £9/10 but chicken and chips are only £5. We got the cake box too and definitely recommend that, it’s great having to choose a bit of everything😊 will be coming back again for sure.- Service

What a fabulous find in Louth! We had a delicious breakfast at a great price. I had already tucked in before I remembered to take a photo. Everything cooked fresh. Generous portions. Lovely server and chef. Nice, light-filled café. 5 stars.

Second time we’ve been, first time was a lucky find, the second was an intentional visit. The food on both occasions was delicious, Signature ploughmans, charcuterie board, cheese board. All were perfectly proportioned with a varying selection of accompaniments. Drinks also excellent, the velvetised hot chocolate with all the trimmings is everything you need on a cold morning. The proprietors were lovey, kind and approachable. Looking forward to our next visit.- Service

Been a few times before and always lovely food. Went for breakfast this morning. All hot and freshly cooked. About 15 minute wait while they prepare food but its worth waiting for... the salads are lovely and the homemade quiches, also can be taken out.

1st time visit yesterday, I have the 2 of everything breakfast and the Mrs had the 1 of everything. The best breakfast in Louth by a mile in our opinion. First class quality produce cooked perfectly and to order. Everything hot and tasty as it should be. Staff very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back to sample other items on their menu
