Fab hidden gem on Water Lane, just around the corner from Grove Street. Lovely staff, really friendly. Super menu. The mushroom soup was GORGEOUS. Piping hot! Love the crockery, too! Service was very friendly and promptly took away pots when we'd finished. Will deffo return. Here's a cafe to stay, I’m sure.

Called in for a late lunch whilst visiting with family. Food was nicely prepared. Staff were pleasant and cafe was pleasant inside. Plenty of choices for a snack and portions were fairly large and a side salad was provided with my jacket potato.

Another fantastic meal here. Come usually 3 or 4 times a month. Halloumi salad today was delicious! Probably the best breakfast and brunch place in Wilmslow right now. Service is always top notch.

One of our favourite go to places any time of the day! Everyone is friendly and kind, especially to our little girl, making her feel so welcome, and to top it off the food is great every time!

Lovely lunch at the cafe on water lane for all the family. Beautiful decor more like a restaurant. We found the staff super friendly and great with our young children (colouring activity offered and split a dessert for them). We will definitely be back.
