You must try this Cafe. The service was excellent and the food matched the service. You absolutely must try the hummus for a starter.

As soon as we arrived we immediately felt welcomed as if we had just stepped into the home of dear friends. The menu is varied offering vegetarian options and locally produced meats. The potpies and quiche, like everything else, are made there and vary in ingredients. We had a delicious chicken potpie and tried the sampler plate of meatballs. Not... More
