Been going to the zoo for years and wished I knew this little gem of a cafe was here before now. Found by chance. Fantastic friendly service, brilliant tasty food with a big selection of choice, quantity and quality. Would definitely return again

An excellent cafe in the heart of Upton. Always extremely friendly and very pleasant and welcoming. Tried many different meals in there and the sausage and bacon batch is beautiful. I highly recommend this cafe and I can’t praise the staff high enough. Please try it , you won’t be disappointed.

Worth a little detour. Great coffee, though the guy served us was a little over enthusiastic, but that may have been cause it was a slow time of day. Secondly, fruit bread is not quite the same as a toasted tea cake that was advertised, but the ginger cake was fabulous. The other loose cakes looked fine too.
