    A superb breakfast was enjoyed at the Gorilla Coffee Cafe, made by Sarah, the new Cook, with non greasy hash browns, delicious mushrooms, crispy thick bacon, fluffy sausages, fresh tomatoes and more! A fabulous, value for money experience that surpassed expectations. Definitely worth a visit! Just off the main road,friendly atmosphere, clean and relaxing.

    Lovely community space. Very friendly engaging people. The outside seating is south facing so if the sun's out, a fine place to share bike tips, or sit, reflect, chat

    Having read another reviewers views being fairly negative I wanted to see gor myself. Ordering and seating isn't rocket science, order at the counter and they tell you they'll bring it over! Easy peasy. The lady who served me was warm and welcoming. Ordered a latte and breakfast. The comment previously that it's dearer than local brunch options.. yes it is.. but having visited many of the local places the quality of the products is entirely different. Great quality meat is a must. The food was hot, and tasty.. and really enjoyed... the latte..was a latte... the only downside was the coriander tasting beans.. that's purely my own preference but all in all a lovely place
