This is a lovely little independent cafe in the town centre. Their menu has gluten free and vegan options and the milk used is all organic. My favorite item from the menu is the homemade organic vanilla ice cream. It’s delicious! I also really enjoy their smoothies and milkshakes. The owner sometimes brings samples of homemade desserts to try, which are all a treat. The best thing about this place is the friendly people and their passion to use quality ingredients. It’s been a while since we visited the cafe but will visit again soon!

An absolutely incredible cafe for anyone who is gluten free / coeliac (and equally as delicious for anyone who is not!). Staff are wonderfully helpful, friendly and knowledgeable! Everything is gluten free so no risk of cross contamination! A completely safe option! A great range of items too! Highly recommended!

Delicious! I have Celiac disease and this place is a gem for gf and non alike! My husband and I each got the avocado savory crepes and they were sooo good! We also got the Nutella and strawberry crepe for dessert and it was amazing! They do not go light on the fillings so each bite is oozing with goodness! We each got drinks as well. I got a mocha which was delicious and my husband got the peach iced tea. His tea was amazing! We are still talking about it. The whole place is gf so celiacs don't need to worry and can order and eat freely. There is lots of outdoor seating but only a small amount inside so I definitely advise going on a nice day. The staff are super nice and accommodating. Open to adapting orders to be as you like and understanding of allergies. Great date spot. Definitely will be going again.

Had such a lovely visit here today. I never knew this cafe existed, despite living in Wokingham. The staff were so lovely and friendly. I will be back to try some of the delicious looking food!

It was such a pleasure to visit this hole-in-the-wall cafe for a flat white, tea and delicious crepes. I love that it’s outside ordering in the current climate too. Super friendly & a pure joy to visit. My whole family loves it too; me for the coffee, Mum for the customer service & my sister for the wide choice of alternative milks (oat, soy, cow, almond etc.). The Nutella crepe was especially delicious - what a treat. Take out and devour it in the park in the sunshine for that holiday feels.

What an absolute gem of a place! Delicious crepes and homemade bakes, made by people who are clearly passionate about their food and what they create. Such a lovely warm welcome and a wonderful chat with staff who talked us through all the delicious options. Everything is gluten free and there are lots of vegan choices too. Very impressed - we'll definitely be visiting again!

The staff were super friendly and the fact that it was all gluten free was fantastic. It had a lovely community feel to it and everything was made with organic milk including their ice cream which was delicious

Such lovely people that work here! Been coming for years and have never been let down. Do an incredible gluten free range for celiacs like myself, as well as the best ice cream in the world. Would 100% recommend.
