Great atmosphere on a quieter street. Food was excellent, best we had in the area. We had four different things and everything was delicious and beautifully presented!

Amazing cafe, well worth seeking out. We went for breakfast and all had the same. Full English and tea. Breakfast was amazing, great quality, good portion sizes and well cooked. My friend says it was the best cafe breakfast she can remember. Staff very friendly too. We will definitely return.

Great place for breakfast and lunch. Food and drinks were amazing. My whole family enjoyed their food and drinks and we all ordered different things. Service was really good! Both people working there were very friendly and accommodating. They were both working very hard but still had a smile on their face! Would 100% recommend this place.

Came here for the first time today and it was fantastic! The service was amazing and the staff were so lovely. The location is tucked away from the busy main street, which gives it a warm and cosy atmosphere. They were really happy to change my order, even though I can be a bit picky! The food was fantastic — amazing quality and great prices. I’ll definitely be coming back with my mum!

Wow! What a dining experience at Cafe No.4! The food (and coffee) is amazing and very reasonably priced. A must visit for anyone who enjoys fresh and tasty home cooked food and a a super warm and friendly service. We eat out a lot and this is by a fair mile the best place we have ever eaten. Would give 10 stars if we could
