A nice quiet cafe with a beautiful fish tank. The customer service was spot on. Really friendly team. Very accommodating and helpful. A recommended place to dine.

Recently moved to the area and came across this little gem… WOW.
The atmosphere and friendliness and welcoming staff were fantastic. I wasn’t expecting to feel so excited to have an artisan cafe on my doorstep.
The food was faultless, arrived quickly and staff were so friendly and said we didn’t need to rush. I’m a talker and slow eater. So this was great.
My afternoon was uplifted by these amazing people and food. See you soon guys 🙏🏼- Food

This family owned bakery offers the most fresh loaf of bread and other delicacies. Marcel and his wife are so kind, make me feel so comfortable and incredibly approachable. I love having an early morning chat and getting my bread from their shop on a Saturday! Wouldn’t go anywhere else

Delicious food and drinks, served promptly by the loveliest coffee shop owners! I had the toasted seeded bagel with avocado & egg, and an oat latte. Both items were delicious; food is of great quality and evidently fresh. Whilst at Crusty’s, I saw other’s meals and that confirmed that standard is maintained with every order! Would recommend this to anyone looking for a coffee, breakfast, brunch or lunch spot - have already promised the grandparents that I’ll return with them. Owners were sweet enough to let me stay a good couple of hours to write at my table as I found the atmosphere very calming and it inspired me. 10/10- Parking

Fantastic little place for breakfast.
Impeccably clean and freshly cooked to order. What more could you ask for?
We had a large breakfast and a seeded bagel filled with ham & cream cheese.
We also bought a lovely sourdough loaf to bring home too. Was great having a little bread menu to look at the choices that were available.
Love the note about dogs getting a free Puppacino! Any place that is dog friendly gets extra points!
Side note - the fish tank is beautiful!!!!Owner response

So was walking past this beautiful place and thought I will go in and grab a coffee to go! However walked in and was greeted amazingly and so I ordered my coffee looked in the cake fridge I looked in and saw a honeycomb cheesecake and I had to try that. I was then asked if I wanted to eat in or take away? So I thought I looked around and it was such a cosy atmosphere and amazing staff I thought I will eat in! To which I think was the best idea I had listening to the owner discuss how to make bread with a couple of customers! Thank you for an amazing experience I will definitely be back in!Owner response

A fantastic local place that we have passed so many times, finally we made it inside for lunch shortly before closing.
The owners are so friendly and helpful, if you need any advice on the breads or menu items then they can talk you through it all.
My husband and I both decided to have Homemade Beef Goulash with Fresh Bread, the beef was so soft and tender and the goulash itself had a deep flavour with the right intensity of pepper, delicious. The bread was lovely and soft with a crisp outer, and you could ask for more if you wanted. We also had 2 Americano’s, a nice bold coffee… next time we visit we will be having cake as they looked incredible.- Service

After driving past this Cafe everyday I decided to give it ago. I was welcomed by the young girl with a smile and a friendly hello. The menu has a wide variety of options including vegan dishes too. The food itself is fresh and tasty. Most restaurants/cafes have the same low quality food supplier, however this Cafe doesn't! You can taste the difference and the quality. If you are looking for the best tasting food in the area and friendly service then go here.A great selection of breads and sandwiches, baked and cooked to perfection, one hundred percent worth a visit.

This is my favourite bakery by far. They're friendly, welcoming and they sell the highest quality bread I've ever tasted, if you like your sourdough I highly recommend. Whenever I'm visiting my dad in the South I always buy at least 3 loaves to take home! And the coffee is great!
