Nice and cosy with fire going on a chilly morning for breakfast.
Staff friendly and helpful. Plenty of seating available.
Has a full menu including full cooked breakfast or lighter meals.
Recommend the Breakfast parfait - filling and tasty.

Relishes cafe was open at 7.30am so we called in for an early breakfast on our way to treble cone for the day. Lovely hot coffee, great food and delightful staff, what a great start to our day. Highly recommended!!

Not the noisy end of town. Great view from outside tables plus the window table. Always get great service and friendly. Had superb soup for lunch and dessert and excellent coffee. They have table service and you don't have to ask for water. A favourite spot.

A ride here for lunch. We both had the leek pea and potato soup with a ciabatta bread. Followed that with walnut cake with brandy and cranberry and a mocha to wash it down. A bit of people watching and a perfect way to spend an afternoon.

We have eaten here many times over the last five years and we find it consistently good. Great location across from the lake (but no view really). The menu is interesting and healthy and the service is attentive. We ate lunch - arancinis and clam chowder soup plus kids chips and quesadillas. All very delicious. Our son got a great chocolate milkshake included. Nice to see a place that welcomes children and has inventive food options for them.
