We came across this lovely welcoming cafe while on the way to a Portmerion visit the next day. It is such a welcoming place with delicious teas, coffees and cakes etc. but made our visit extra special was the gift to us of two cherry scones, butter and a knife to see us okay on the long second half of our trip. Sorry the birds missed out but thank you so very much - just to let you know we made it, had a lovely time and we're now back home xx

Stumbled across this delightful place while having taken a day trip to Ludlow. We ordered afternoon tea for two which was absolutely delicious, and only £24.95 . Staff were really friendly, and quick service, seating area clean and spacious. We loved the coronation chicken filled sandwiches, definitely be back.

The food was nice but not amazing. The decor is a little outdated. They have indoor and outdoor seating available. I would recommend this place if you just need a quick lunch.

What a lovely little gem of a cafe. Definitely search it out if you’re visiting Ludlow and fancy a brekkie, lunch or afternoon tea. Great staff and everything is super clean. 5-Star hygiene rating.

Lovely little hidden place to eat with really friendly staff, felt very clean and covid safe. Ordered cheese and pickle sandwich with crisps and salad on the side which was delicious, fresh and filling. Will be back!

This beautiful hidden gem in ludlow. Idylicly situated in a quiet little walkway it offers wonderful service, beautiful snacks and treats as well as good quality tasty hot food. It was serene sitting outside listening to the church bells of st Lawrence. The tea and latte are second to none. Well worth a side track to find it out and visit. In fact no its a hidden gem and im keeping it to myself lol

Lovely little cafe, easily missed, down an alleyway, opens out to a nice outdoor seating area, plenty of indoor seating. Had breakfast out in the sun, lovely sausage and generous with the bacon.
