"Walking through Winchester and came across this cafe. It had good reviews so gave it a try. The bacon sandwich was tasteless and the bread stale. The american pancakes were heavy not light and fluffy and the maple syrup tasted synthetic. Not a good choice in the end."
Paul O'Connell
"This little cafe near Winchester Cathedral surprised me. It has a few things going for it: Chilled ambience, intimate and compact settings, and prompt low-key service.
I ordered the breakfast omelette - containing bacon, sausage, and tomatoes wrapped in an omlette purse. It was sumptuous and substantial, just about moist, without being soggy. Iced mocha is impeccably made.
The cafe doesn't try to be fancy, just the basics made well. Love it. ❤️"
