I wrote this review in March 2020 just before everything closed down because of Covid 19. As the rules relaxed we visited again while it was serving takeaway food in June for some sausage sandwiches for Val and Erin. It's open again now (August 2020) with socially distanced tables, hand sanitiser on each table and sterilised wrapped cutlery. The menu may have changed since we first visited but from the menu board as I pass by it looks equally as yum!
A new cafe has opened up quite near our house so we had to go check it out. It's located just to the side of the Grove Road School off Skipton Road. It's quite eclectic in style made up of all different chairs and tables. Makes me feel at home!
We had a look through the menu and it had all the usual suspects of sandwiches, jacket potatoes and soup. There's breakfast items too until 11.30. They had some nice looking healthy options on the menu. JD opted for the Buddha Bowl with sweet potato, avocado, beans and rice. It was presented really well and looked delicious!
I enquired after the soup of the day and decided to order it seeing as it was homemade chicken soup. Yum! It came with seeded bread and butter. It was a broth with shredded chicken chunks in and had seeds scattered on top. Very nice and warming!
We ordered water to drink which came with ice (I love cold water). JD's Buddha Bowl was £8 and my soup was £5 giving us a total of £13 which fits in our £15 budget. I decided to go all out and also had a toasted teacake for £2 which took us up to the max spend. We really enjoyed our lunch, the staff were very friendly and welcoming which is always nice. The whole menu is good value for money with the most expensive item being £9. They also have a good range of hot drinks if that's your thing.
Just next to the cafe there is also an antique shop which was nice to have a look around and a refilling station for dry goods like pasta, rice and more.
It's nice to have lunch just a short walk from home and feel like you're helping a small business. I can see that we'll be back often. If you're in the area, give it a try!
