We visit this cafe every week so I thought it is high time I write review. It is a very nice cafe in the neighbourhood with very warm staff and cosy vibe. The food quality is very good and my daughter has a good time reading books and having her favourite jacket potato with tuna and cheese. I even ordered cupcake on the occasion of my daughter’s birthday for her nursery friends. They were delicious!! Highly recommend!!!

The scone with jam and cream might be the best one I've ever had. Lovely location in the garden centre.

My daughter brought me here today and I cannot praise it enough! Absolutely delicious food served in a clean, bright, attractive venue by wonderfully friendly, helpful staff. We ended up sharing a tasty lentil and coconut soup AND having a superb quiche and a very full prawn sandwich - just couldn’t choose!. Plus Irene was just the loveliest waitress ever. Pity there’s just no room for cake!

Delicious tomato and carrot soup, really exceptional. Maybe a bit too delicious and filling! Definitely recommend it. Loved the feta quiche too.

I don't know why I was so impressed by this cafe. Everything and everyone else at Sunshine Garden Centre makes you smile. The cafe is no different - a tasty and varied menu and friendly efficient staff. We had the crabcakes, toasted sandwiches, chips and the sausage roll, all well cooked and full of flavour. I wish all cafes were like this one

This lovely cafe is located at the Sunshine Garden Centre. There were quite a few customers here at the time of my visit. I purchased a latte and a slice of cake as it was still early morning, to soon for me to have a sandwich or lunch. The latte was spot on and the cake, passion fruit and white chocolate slice was delicious. The staff were friendly, polite and the atmosphere was pleasant and relaxing. You can choose to dine inside or outdoor.
