"The freshly grinded beans of coffee that tastes great, food is fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. Excellent service made the experience even better!"

I'm not usually a selfish person, but if I could, I would keep the Rye Cafe all to myself. They offer a brilliant selection from their usual menu, and Robbie, the chef and owner, usually has daily specials. The only real resemblance to a normal community cafe is a general friendliness and abundance of local regulars - the food is anything but typical. Yes, yes, of course you can get a bacon or sausage sandwich, but these are made from all locally sourced ingredients and cooked to perfection - seriously! Juices are all made to order. Sweet treats and bake goods - what he doesn't create himself - also come from local one person/one kitchen set ups. Robbie draws on his years of being a top hotel chef in Dubai and Southeast Asia to bring you special delights with a kick. During the Virus, Robbie has also maintained an excellent delivery service, with to-die-for burgers, slow cooked brisket and other fab foods. Order early, especially the weekends. And his community spirit means he's been cooking for the NHS and elderly sheltering. Great guy, great food, great cafe. But don't tell too many people - I'm one of those friendly local regulars who still hopes to get a table for lunch.

I took my daughter here for lunch today and we were really impressed with the food. I am gluten free and vegetarian so I was a bit concerned. However I had the most delicious hot crispy gf roll with egg mayo. My daughter enjoyed an open sandwich with avocado and salad followed by some chocolate cake. Everything was presented beautifully and along with that, they do a great coffee! We will definitely be back!

A really fantastic local cafe. Delicious food and excellent value. The owner was rushed off his feet and working hard - it's appreciated!

Nice cafe. Really nice crockery especially the teapots that fit in the cups. We only had tea and some little chocolate truffles as we had already eaten. Shall return another time for breakfast.

I met friends there on Monday and it was so lovely. The gentleman was so patient and friendly. The sandwiches were huge and so tasty best I've had. We also had cake and the choice was hard to make as they all looked so good. Choice made and they didn't disappoint. I would highly recommend here!
