Managed by a fashionable young team, but themed like grandma's country cottage with an array of cuckoo clocks and ancient bits and bobs, this enticing cafe sports original tile work and several cosy dining rooms plus a lovely terrace upstairs for sinking a beer. There are also simple lightweight mains like salads, burgers and croquettes, plus delicious cakes and pies.
