The friendly staff deserves a shoutout, as their exceptional service adds to the overall experience.

The homemade cakes receive high praise too, with options for gluten-free and vegan diets that keep everyone happy.
Most Disliked
Despite the cafe's many appeals, some visitors mention peak hours, particularly the busy Saturday lunch, can lead to wait times for tables. While the atmosphere is bustling, it may not suit those seeking a quieter meal on weekends.
A few patrons have noted that street parking can be challenging, especially during peak hours, suggesting that planning ahead or arriving early might be necessary. Some diners also mentioned that while the variety is expansive, the menu may feel overwhelming due to the sheer number of choices, potentially making decision-making a little stressful.

This is my go-to place for lunch when I visit Lichfield. I was here last week, perhaps my 10th visit over 2 or 3 years. The staff are friendly, the service is quick, the food is always nice and they do excellent tea and coffee. It gets busy in the middle of lunch time (I wonder why!) so plan accordingly. It's nice to sit outside when the weather permits as the road is pedestrianised.

We visited this cafe yesterday lunch as a big group of 9 people. Staff were very accommodating to such a large group and were lovely and patient towards the children. Food was great and the cafe felt like such a friendly environment. Staff were hardworking yet all had a smile on their faces. Would definitely recommend to anyone coming to Lichfield.

Loved the food and the atmosphere in this gem of a cafe, so came back again two days later. Staff recognised us and gave us such a warm welcome. Food once again was delicious (this time I had the veg and chickpea panini).

Very nice little cafe. Quite busy. We had to wait for 10 minutes or so for a table to become free at around 11:30 on Sunday, but took that as a sign it must be good. Breakfast was delicious. Good quality ingredients. Friendly and prompt service. Highly recommended.

Lovely little café with delicious food. I had the hot roast pork and stuffing on baguette, others had the all day breakfast on ciabatta, and roasted vegetables with halloumi with added avocado on ciabatta. The breads were so fresh and crisp, very nice indeed, would definitely go back again.
