Set in a beautiful old church aesthetically it is beautiful. The coffee was very pleasant, although it was a rather cold to sit any length of time in the cafe. The access for disabled Is none existent unfortunately, and although the drinks were satisfactory some alarming confusion arose over the allergy content of some of the cakes and as a result Im unfortunately unwell. The chocolate brownies was very dry, even my fork found it an impossible challenge, when ordering a chocolate brownies l exspect a moist decadent brownie consistency and I was extremely disappointed to discover otherwise. The other cakes my party ordered however were only a little better. The customer service at intervals came across as complacent/aggressive. I feel my own and my parties exsperance on this occasion was unfortunate, distressing due to the uncertainty of a product that had been served as Gfree and I have been unwell since consuming it, which would alert me to contamination with a none Gfree source. Unfortunately Due to this exsperance and the exsperance of all of the party of people I attend with the party agree unfortunately on this occasion we would not frequent the establishment again for food consumption. However I have to give praise where due, too the extremely helpful staff in the antiques side of the establishment.
