Quirky and colourful café tucked away off Stroud High Street (so tucked away I didn’t know it was there!). Incredible range of vegetarian (and non-veggie) brunch items, including a specials board. Cakes looked amazing – with a decent choice of gluten free and vegan options (we were too full from brunch to taste them, but will go back). I opted for the goats cheese with sage honey and walnuts on sourdough, which looked amazing on Instagram but was mediocre in reality. The cheese was slightly warm but not melted at all and the bread was tough. I put down to being the busiest time on the busiest day of the week and will go back and try something different another time. Coffee was delicious.

What a lovely little find this was. We found this place tucked away at the end of a little alley which you access from the main shopping street. Nicely presented food, however I think they could have been a bit more generous with the portions. The poached egg on toast with avacado was delicious but another slice of toast would have been nice. Lots of choice and reasonably priced too. A nice little outdoor area to sit in too but for us it was a little hot.

Food is amazing I love the veggie Full English. It's actually the best I've ever had, better than a meat Full English. Honestly the roasted veggies, potatoes and eggs are really good I could eat it over and over again!

Hands down the best breakfast I’ve had in a long time. The staff were really friendly and the service was great. We were a bit unsure at first whether we had to wait to be seated or just grab a table as there wasn’t much signage but we eventually just sat ourselves down. Totally worth it though. Highly recommend the chorizo hash from the specials board was so flavourful, and the tomatoes were honestly the best I’ve ever tasted with so much flavour. Will definitely be back when in the area.

Went for a Birthday brunch with my wife and really enjoyed the friendly atmosphere, good food and individuality of the yard. The service was good and staff were welcoming.

Great cafe with indoor and outdoor seats. The atmosphere is very lively, staff is friendly, very good choice of food and everything we had tasted great. The highlight for us was the coffee - it was amazing! We’re hoping to go back there tomorrow!
