“Fantastic, I would urge anyone to seek out this cafe. As soon as we walked through the door we received a friendly warm welcome. There is a good variety of breakfast items which was the purpose of our visit. We decided on the farmers breakfast and added a slice of fried bread to the breakfast. Sausages were fantastic as were the bacon and black pudding. Eggs cooked perfectly and not cooked in those stupid rings. Hash brown looked a bit pale, I was expecting it to be soggy. However I was thankfully proved wrong, really crispy hash brown the way i like them. Fried bread was an extra £1.50 but definitely worth it, not a proper breakfast without it. We also purchased some scones to take home and they were delicious. Top marks 10/10”

Visited on the opening day, wow, what a great experience. The premises has been given a lovely refresh inside and out. Food is amazing and staff are super helpful and friendly. Well worth a visit and have to say it has the edge over the old business which used to be here.

“Lovely cafe. We sat outside in the sunshine. There was a lovely selection of cakes to choose from. A vegan option wasn't available on our visit so my partner just had a cuppa but hopefully there will be one for next time.”

“Perfect day out with our grandson was made even more special by the beautiful food and lovely staff at Olivers. The clean counter was packed with fresh patisseries and we were pleased to see a selection of hot savoury food too because we were all hungry. The food was piping hot and I ordered egg salad/bacon on my jacket potato which was light and tasty and most importantly, the potato was not soggy and limp, but browned with a baked taste! The pecan slice was the best I have EVER eaten! Buttery shortbread and large, fresh pecans dripping in sauce! Extremely friendly staff - we will definitely go back.”

“An absolutely impeccable business: immaculately clean, decorated with love caf run by a smiley team who obviously really care. And that’s before we get into what is probably the best breakfast bap I think I’ve ever had: non gristly bacon, perfectly cooked egg, fluffy roll… Why I something so simple often done on wrong? Not here. But really, it’s the little things here. Isn’t it always? The little cute sign on the loo door, the way the white toast is cut thick and the butter spread oh-so-evenly, the coffee with the sugar labelled just so. This is the standard all British cafs should strive for.”
