Here for a nutrition conference in Loughborough uni, roamed around the town to find a spot to have lunch. Found such a cozy corner coffee shop and I really really enjoyed the salad here, very nutritious (proved by the nutritionist!) and definitely good taste. Coffee doesn’t give me much surprise.

Staff were friendly, polite and kept the place spotless. The drinks and food were really good, and would definitely recommend popping in. The cookie pie slices were massive so we had to ask for a box, to take the rest away with us.

Nice little café in Loughborough, the website is wrong though, it's not open on a Monday! The food is nice, and fairly reasonably priced - I tend to go for the waffles myself and my friends love the bagels. The music is good, nice and calm and people pop in for takeaway coffee now and then. There appears to be enough space for wheelchairs inside, although the door might be a little narrow - there are also two steps to the single loo.

Lovely cool café with quality coffee and a good range of pastries and other café food. I mistakenly left my bag but it was well looked after and returned safely. Nice place, nice people: highly recommended.
