Cafe inside a garden center. We had to wait a bit to be seated, place was full for lunch. But service was quick, food came minutes after ordering. Staff friendly and efficient. Good selection of cakes and we found their cheesecake pretty good. No complaints from the kids about their meal

Strange place located in the middle of a hardware/nursery store. Younger staff is lovely and welcoming. Senior staff is unpleasant and gruff. Quiche is heavy and tasteless. Ok if you are starving and can’t go on without food. Otherwise, no thank you.
