What do customers say?

Visitors praise the waffles and friendly staff, but quality swings wildly. Complaints centre on slow service, tiny portions, cold waffles arriving 15 minutes apart, and inconsistent execution under the current kitchen team.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Best for: casual diners seeking waffles and brunch in a friendly cafe setting, or overnight guests needing simple accommodation
Think twice if: you want consistent execution; waffle wait times exceed 15 minutes even with few customers, and food quality varies between visits

What stands out?

  • waffles and signature pasta dishes
  • friendly owner and staff (when consistent)
  • guesthouse rooms available

Worth knowing

  • Waffles are a signature item but often arrive cold and flat with minimal syrup or spread
  • Waffle orders of four took 15-60 minutes to arrive
  • Carbonara and pizza praised by some; mushroom soup compared unfavourably to canned versions
  • Original chef no longer with business
  • Menu photos on Instagram and Google do not match current offerings
  • Payment system issues reported (card machine down, price discrepancies on bill)
