Lovely little cafe in the middle of the north part of Victoria Park, with nice selection of food (cooked, sandwiches & pastries), snacks, drinks, ice cream, etc. Also has a toilet, usually accessible when the cafe is closed - great for emergency wee stops. Bike stands near by too which is useful if you want to lock your bike and have a walk on foot & an outside table tennis table if you fancy a bit of sunny ping pong

Such a lovely café for everyone - families, children and dogs too! Stopped by to do some studying and, despite it being a warm and sunny bank holiday, still managed to find a seat. There's plenty of seating options inside and outside, some under canopies and umbrellas. For those who want to work, it can be a little noisy, more bubbly atmosphere, but nothing headphones can't drown out. There are the odd few power outlets on the far wall, and there is Wi-Fi - look for the password on the counter top, which works well once connected. I struggled to get any 4G/5G service, so don't count on this. The food itself is delicious, and fairly-priced (the larger meals are slightly pricier, but you get a lot for what you pay for). I went for the Bacon, Banana and Maple Syrup Pancake option (£12) and really enjoyed it. The servers and staff were lovely and friendly, and I'll definitely be going back.

Having read the other comments I agree this place is pricey, especially if you're popping in to get juices for kids. But I really like this place, the coffee and cakes are great and the staff are friendly. Great location and dog friendly. There is a really relaxed vibe inside and it's in an amazing location.

Great cafe is a great location, slap bang in the middle of Victoria Park: next the big adventure playground, skate park and park toilets too. A fair amount of indoor seating but plenty outside which is fantastic in the sunshine. The food here is very good quality and quite wide ranging menu, from breakfast and lunches to sandwiches, pastries and cakes. It's definitely got a modern vibe, so think Huevos Rancheros, rather than a fry up, and banana bread rather than victoria sponge. This is a lovely cafe, the food is good and it's a lovely place to visit, however, this is not a place for a cheap eat, so bear that in mind if you want to visit. Worth a visit for sure if in the area.
