Great spot. Staff are friendly, vibes are good. Usually park cafes are bland and overpriced. But this place brings a nice energy to Burgess. The food and decor are great, with a nice selection of canned beers.

Beautiful friendly staff and cafe, with children’s facilities just next door. Water fountains for the younger children to play just outside. Plenty room and tables outside. Chilled, welcoming vibe, cappuccino was creamy and smooth not bitter at all. They also have a loyalty card free 10th coffee. We pleasantly enjoyed our time here. Would recommend and return.

Gorgeous, fun café in the middle of Burgess Park with the loveliest staff. They’ve got a great range of drinks and food (including pizzas), and the shop is really well stocked too. Such a chill atmosphere, and the cute resident doggies are the cherry on top!
