Our local coffee place. Nice layout, friendly staff and good food.
Could maybe do with a few more vegan options.

Great little place. Good breakfast menu for those not looking for a fry up. I had a tasty pair of poached eggs while my partner had scrambled. All perfectly cooked and served by cheery staff too

Very friendly staff and a nice seating area. Coffee fantastic as was the home-made cake that I took away. Should also add that their cleanliness was top notch. I will be happy to visit again in the future.

Was recommended by a friend and decided to give it a try today with some friends. All I can say is delicious, we enjoyed every bite of our breakfast. Good menu with lots of choice, good coffe and not bad value for money. I had the breakfast bagel and couldn't resist trying the biscoff pancakes as well with my husband. They were light and fluffy and… honestly the best I have ever had. Staff are friendly and efficient and they even have a little outside area to enjoy. when leaving the shop we saw the homemade cakes and treats and couldn't leave without taking some away to share later. just

This was my first time visiting Coffee At The Close and I would recommend it. I enjoyed a nice toasty and smoothie. Great service and really nice relaxed feel to the place. I will be going back for sure.

Opened only 9 months ago. Nicely presented place, with great savoury or sweet pancake options, and a few fresh cakes too. Polite and helpful staff. Located in an unexpected residential area. Recommend a visit for coffee and cake, or a breakfast or lunch option too. (Pictured: Chocolate and orange cake)

New favourite local café! Visited for the first time today after hearing about their takeaway service, and was really impressed. Loved the homemade white choc and raspberry cake, and most importantly the coffee was wonderful! Its a stylish place with friendly service, and it makes a great addition to the local community.
