Obsessed with this place! No other school cake even comes close – it’s honestly the best I’ve ever had. I came once and now I can’t stop going back… it’s become a full-on addiction The shop is super cute with loads of seating, perfect for families or just a little treat. Love the decor – it’s such a nice vibe inside. I chatted with the owner who was lovely, and all the staff are always really friendly and polite. Definitely my fave dessert spot, and it’s so nice having something this good close to home. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out!

Best dessert place locally without doubt. Everything is homemade not store bought and the difference in taste is amazing. The staff are super friendly and very hardworking. There is plenty of indoor seating in a family friendly environment and relaxed atmosphere. There is a great range of desserts with good prices. Would definitely recommend 10/10

•Food is perfect. •Everything is freshly made and taste absolutely scrumptious •All the staff was very nice and sweet •Staff was wearing gloves •The place is beautiful. •Another thing I loved about the place is that there was no smoke or any kind of smells coming from kitchen because kitchen is on the side

Amazing food & sweet treats. We visited for my daughters birthday and we opted for their pizzas which were amazing. Fresh and full of flavour. Bon appetite! Cookies and cakes were amazing too. You can tell everything is home-made and a lot of effort has gone into each product. Everything looks spectacular. Staff were super friendly . We shall be making our way through your full menu. Keep up the work guys. 5 star and above from us and we shall be back.
