    I called into my favourite cafe in Shoreham this afternoon 30th Jan 2025. As always the welcome lifts my spirits. The two amazing ladies laughed with me and made me feel so very special. Again I had my favourite which is the poached eggs on toast with an extra hot /extra wet cappuccino. Thankyou ladies for listening to my story of how my life is right now. I will come back to see you soon. Thankyou. Skip xx

    Lovely place, best place to visit in Shoreham. Its tucked around the corner from the church yard so away from the busy high street and served the best gluten free cake I've had in a good while, plus it was a proper sized cake!
