I love this place!…read more On a Saturday lunchtime it was heaving, though thankfully we were able to be seated straight away. Next to a blazing hot radiator. It was a fairly pleasant day in early September so I'm not convinced having the heating on full blast was totally necessary, and my sister kept accidentally catching her arm on it. That's not much of a complaint though, just an odd observation. I love the look and feel of the place, especially the drawings on the far wall. I mentioned to my sister that I thought it was affiliated with Federal in Manchester. She asked one of the staff who told her they're totally independent of each other but that the owner of Tamper helped the guys from Federal set up. This really shows in the decor, atmosphere and menu of both places. We each ordered a flat white. When they arrived they were lovely to look at, and delicious too. My sister ordered the Big Ozzie breakfast, and I ordered the smashed avocado on sourdough with poached eggs and halloumi. My dish was really beautifully presented. It came with a sweet chilli cucumber salsa, which is not necessarily something I would have chosen to go with the dish, but worked really well. My sister really enjoyed her breakfast as well. I tried a bit of the sausage patty and the hash brown and they were both delicious, really nicely seasoned. We didn't have any cake as we were fit to burst but there was a huge selection and everything looked lovely. I would definitely return and would recommend.

It was about a 30-minute wait for a table and a fairly long wait for food, but it was all worth it…read more Tiny little place with abput 24 total seats, so larger parties are probably not a great idea. They do their best to turn tables, but diners, by and large, seem to linger. Rude, but that's people. The staff was very friendly and the food was great! We tried the Corn Fritters and then a special Asian Pork Belly Benedict... both excellent! Good coffee and tea and some nice-looking lattes, etc. Oh, and some great pastries and brownies! You can also get their baked items two doors down at Brew & Brownie Bake Shop! A breakfast/brunch-time winner!

They is ample seating outside, and is highly recommended for young families as there is a brilliant play area that includes pedal tractors and cars and a meet little race track to your kids to race around on while you enjoy you brew and a cake. There is also swings and a junior zip-wire to entertain them. The windmill is great and visitors can go up the spiral stairs all the way to the top. Running parallel to the coffee shop is a number of quaint little farm shops selling nick nacks and shabby chic items. On my last visit there was also a clothing shop. Defo worth a trip to chill and enjoy the lovely country views.

A top quality café with welcoming ng and friendly staff…read more I only ordered a flat white, but I did ask for the sugar to go in before the milk and it's surprising how often this doesn't happen. But here it did and the chap who brought my coffee over confirmed it, which was kind. The coffee was good, the ambience laid back and the feeling was of a haven from a bustling street and city. Eventually, I left my regal armchair to get back and on. This café sets a fine standard for competitors to meet.

Nursing a hangover I was led here. It's a vast place with rustic wooden floors…read more We chose a spot and was informed to order at the bar when ready. They offered from eggs benedict to pancakes. With a mighty thirst I ordered a vanilla shake and orange juice. Himself a flat white and cappuccino both expertly made. My shake was tasty enough. As for food I felt a good cleanse was in order so I opted for the smashed avocado on beetroot sour dough bread with poached eggs. Himself had hash browns with sausage and bacon. I exclaimed when mine hit the table ...the portion was huge! The eggs were perfect and grilled tomatoes...the bread was a little difficult to saw through and it just needed some cracked black pepper / seasoning. My partners was perfect with superb ingredients such as thick bacon and tasty sausage. Overall the service was pleasant and everything of good portion I personally would try a different dish next time.

We may have made the mistake of going shopping after Christmas. Not Boxing Day, but still a…read moremistake. I blame Mr. Snarky as he didn't do shopping for my birthday gift when he did Christmas shopping. When we first came into the mall, we stopped to talk about where and when to meet up and I noticed Coffika... a new cafe where there used to be a Costa. After doing some shopping, we met up, but Mr. Snarky said that there were queues of traffic and suggested we stop at one of the cafes and wait a bit when traffic might ease up. I suggested we try Coffika, especially as this was right next to the exit we had parked near. They have some lovely sandwiches, unique cold drinks (Root Beer and Cream Soda), and obviously some very nice looking cakes :). I decided to have tea and noticed that they had cakes resembling Lamingtons... which I only knew about because Work BFF (remember her?!) had told me about them. So I decided to try the Sour Cherry and Pistachio one... although they had called it something else... scrummington maybe? Anyway, Mr. Snarky decided on a slice of the Victoria Sandwich. There are some tables and chairs downstairs, or you could retreat to the quiet and calm of upstairs... not many people know it is there. Upstairs there are sofas and coffee tables. I didn't try the Victoria Sandwich, but the lamington was really nice. It was so moist and I liked the Pistachio flavour, I just think it could have done with a few more sour cherries on top. The chocolate on the outside was really nice and probably helped keep the cake moist. I noticed they also had one in a coffee flavour... so I will probably be back. It is a nice change from all of the coffee chains in the mall and I would highly recommend it.
