Nice well equipped coffee shop. Reasonable priced. Thank you Tina for a great service and highlighting meal deal. I would give overall 5 stars if they only would offer lemon for a tea.

Went in to get myself a small treat and it was lovely! The cafe is very small but compact, you would find most food/snack you would require for your trip.The staff behind the counter were wonderful too.

I've bought refreshments many times from your cafe at Peterborough station and the food and deals are great, especially the vegetable samosas. The best thing is the staff, Tina and Leanne are always really friendly, helpful and lovely with me and my dog Ty. They always remember us too which is really canny.

Served a super flat white from Lianne and was then looked after by Tina, shop was immaculate and the girls were constantly cleaning or stocking shelves. I used to own a deli in York and this was really good coffee
