Kate Jackson5 StarThe best breakfast ever. So much fabulous food, and really good value for money. Love the atmosphere here and the staff are so friendly. I didnt try one, but the cakes looked amazing.Sunday 16th July 2023
Phil Sandham5 StarLovely full English breakfast with friends. Nice coffees. Very busy so second cups of coffee took a long time. Not the end of the world.
I read the reviews and I decided this was a place to visit.
Well worth the visit.

Lucy Hargreaves4 StarI love it here, I love the quirkiness of everything, the food is fresh and tasty and homemade. There's so much to look at and it's like taking a step back in time...however, and I know it gets mega busy but there are times I've been and I can't get seated due to abandoned tables. A little trolley to pile it all on and take it away would be perfect but when I went yesterday I went it was all clean and tidy but I chose to sit outside as the weather was beautiful. The benches outside are filthy and sticky and black, everything needs a right good scrub down and so is everything else out there, it just looks grotty and my latte wasn't overly hot either, it won't put me off coming though but I'm not sitting outside again.Monday 4th September 2023
Joseph Bradshaw5 StarIf you love the film Brief Encounter. Visit Carnforth Station where it was made. The station cafe is a replica of the film set and great for lunch. Also a great museum relating to the film with associated memorabilia.Friday 3rd March 2023
Curtis H5 StarReally charming and well stocked cafe/restaurant. Great staff. Lots of variety. I hadn’t planned to be there as long as I was. However I was made welcome and looked after. I hadn’t realised that the classic film Brief Encounters was filmed there. It seems there’s a small museum dedicated this classic film. All in all if you find yourself there, stick around.Sunday 30th July 2023
