Lovely little cafe, we visited on Monday 10th February. We had a toastie with fries which was delicious. There was only one member of staff on but she was welcoming and friendly, and she stayed calm and collective. We only waited 10 mins max for our food and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

Customer care focused staff who beyond just serving you and make sure you are comfortable. Family friendly and noted plenty of parents with young kids who were enjoying themselves. Relaxing views across the river with no noise next to to the footpath.Food is spot on with portion size and taste. Vegan item on menu. Sunny side ensures it is warm in winter. Easy access from all parts of Stratford and walking distance of all city centre parking spots. Great impression of Stratford and the folk here. Will be back.

Visited yesterday, a little gem of a cafe. The coffee was excellent, the cheesecake was delicious. The service was fantastic. The facilities are clean. A great atmosphere, friendly, fab music, nice vibe. I'll definitely visit next time I'm in Stratford. Many thanks

A pleasant cafe with a beautiful view of the RSC theater and the marina. The coffee was excellent and even though it was raining outside, it was cozy inside. If the weather is nice, you can also sit outside. The toilets are clean, wheelchair accessible and have equipment for changing babies. Very satisfied, we recommend trying it.
