Finally got to see the new premises and wow what a great job and the colour scheme looks fantastic. We even had a look at the beautiful cakes they have there also. I had scrambled eggs on sourdough and my wife had a ham and egg croissant and two very nice coffee’s to go with our breakfast. I will remember next time to ask for the coffee to be made a little hotter. To all the staff at The Pocket Cafe keep up the good work. I would definitely recommend that you try this neat little cafe.

Fantastic spot for coffee and food. They don't specify this on the menu but you're a coeliac like me they will customise most dishes and are very careful to avoid cross-contamination.
