Visited Coffee at the Close with my Mum and we were so impressed. Lovely staff, attentive and friendly. A large range of items on the menu and the cakes looked divine - we ordered the pancakes which were to die for! We will definitely be visiting again!

New favourite local cafe! Visited for the first time today after hearing about their takeaway service, and was really impressed. Loved the homemade white choc and raspberry cake, and most importantly the coffee was wonderful! Its a stylish place with friendly service, and it makes a great addition to the local community.

Opened only 9 months ago. Nicely presented place, with great savoury or sweet pancake options, and a few fresh cakes too. Polite and helpful staff. Located in an unexpected residential area. Recommend a visit for coffee and cake, or a breakfast or lunch option too. (Pictured: Chocolate and orange cake)
