Lovely friendly staff,. Small cafe, good choice of food, and at reasonable prices. Just off the market Square. I didn't see toilet's. But I'm sure if you ask they will oblige. I use Thyme Out on a regular basis and would recommend you give it a try.

Lovely cafe with good prices and nice stock, the lady who runs it is lovely to chat to and let us take our dog in too! Service can be slow sometimes even unusually when you are the only person there, but other than that this cafe is top notch and I don’t go anywhere else in town.

Cosy casual little cafe with very pleasant owner. Lovely coffee, breakfasts etc. No parking but near Appletongate car park. Meals and drinks on theatre nights as theatre just over the road. Not wheelchair friendly.
