All the staff are friendly and welcoming. Food is good and filling. Hot drinks are good too. Background music is quiet and unobtrusive. Clean, tidy and well managed. Well done Blackbrooks Cafe.

Food was tasty and ok, we went for coffee and a snack but too many sweet items, only fruit scones were the 'savoury'. The young lady who took the orders, didn't listen got it wrong twice, tbh I'd say she would much rather be elsewhere. Atmosphere once we sat outside was ok.

Just popped to the restaurant while I was having some work done on my vehicle nearby - the breakfast and service was lovely, and it was pretty peaceful as I got there just as they opened. Would highly recommend :-)

Called in on the off chance whilst passing, pleased we did, great breakfast and service! Struggled to eat it all. Nice and clean. There was a leak in the the middle of the dining area, but the rain was torrential. Coffee was very nice, great range of cake, I was tempted but resisted
