Great little find. We had a cycle around and stopped here for a coffee and mini bite to eat. Nice area to sit outside when the sun is out. Charmingly slow services but overall a lovely experience and we will be back.

Went into the Old School Cafe with my brother for a coffee and something to eat. The service was incredible with such friendly staff. Didn’t have to wait for a table. The toastie I got came out in good time and was incredible with a lovely side of salad and crisps. The coffee was lovely as well. I would highly recommend coming here.

What a fantastic little place! Harrison greeted us so warmly when we arrived and looked after us really well. We had very tasty coffees and brunch, all served to us by smiling and polite staff. We felt so welcome here and very much enjoyed our visit. Well done to all involved with this little gem!
