Situated just off of Front Street, this cafe is worth seeking out. Not only do they make yummy breakfasts, lunches and hot drinks, but if you have a special occasion coming up then you’ll want to order a cake from them. They make speciality cakes for all occasions with impressive decorating skills, that taste as good as they look! They even do gluten-free ones.
