I recently popped into Cape London Café, and I’m so glad I did! This place is a gem. The atmosphere is super cozy and welcoming, perfect for catching up with friends or just chilling out with a good book. The staff were really friendly and made me feel right at home. I ordered their cappuccino and full English breakfast - The coffee was rich and smooth, and the full english hit the spot! They have a great selection of panini's and toasties - i’m already looking forward to trying more on the menu. Plus, the décor is lovely, with lots of comfy seating. It’s the perfect spot to relax and unwind. If you’re ever in the area, definitely check out Cape London Café. You’ll love it!

Whilst out walking found this place whilst searching cafes and was so pleased it was real!! Popped in looking for a coffee and tea to takeaway and was amazed at the selection of foods, drinks and overall set up of the place. Great find and wife very happy to have a large Yorkshire Tea. Will be back to try the food. As leaving I saw a Menu that said pie chips and gravy £7.50. that sounds good too me. Super friendly staff.

Nice cafe, quality food, good seating area. Bit pricey but I think it's worth the quality of the food. Friendly staff too.
