"Just popped in with my mum for a cuppa and a cake today, had a delicious slice of Dorset apple cake and a tea. Mum had a slice too and a coffee. The slice was very generously portioned, the service was very friendly and easy-going, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. I super appreciated the effort that had gone into seasonal decor too! Def gonna pop in again soon for breakfast."
