This cafe is really big with plenty of light inside. Once we had placed our orders the food arrived fairly quickly. There's a children's corner with books and toys and dogs are welcome too. Customers can sit outside but we chose to have our meal inside. The reason why I've only given 4 stars is because there's no suitable food for vegans
