Last time I was here, Lakeland occupied this site, so I was very pleasantly surprised by the enormous amount of books that were on display. Snowdrops Cafe occupies the front part of the first floor with seating that includes a long breakfast type bar that overlooks the street. Great for people watching Only had a large latte but the triple shot of coffee was just perfect really good, served in crockery cups, not single use disposable paper cups Sure you can guess which coffee shops I am NOT referring to! On my list of coffee shops to visit. Food looked great but I didn’t want to eat tho on next visit I suspect I will.
This delightful café is located on the first floor of the charity shop and shares the space with an interesting book section, which is surprisingly well stocked. Some tempting homemade dishes on display, both savoury and sweet. I intended to treat myself to the coffee and hazelnut cake but my main course was filling enough, maybe next time. The main courses are well garnished and very reasonably priced. The only negative was the lack of toilets, at least we could not find any. We will visit again.
Lovely atmosphere in a bookshop/charity shop. Light and airy with small menu. Had a bacon and Brie toastie with cranberry sauce. Unfortunately there was way too much sauce as it completely overwhelmed the rest of the ingredients but it was soon taken off with a knife. It was well presented and the coleslaw was to die for...could quite happily just had a plate of that for lunch. Prices were reasonable and service was fairly quick. Would definitely go again so can recommend this place.
Change out of a tenner for two latte coffees and slices of home made cake is not bad these days. This is a little gem of a cafe tucked up behind the second hand book section on the first floor of St Richards Hospice charity shop (the old Lakeland store). Friendly staff, nice choice of seating arrangements, and they also have a rooftop seating area which is open in the Summer.

After popping into the store to browse the books selection I was pleasantly surprised to find a delightful little cafe. A comfortable yet safe atmosphere greeted me with social distancing and a ticket system with table service offered. The menu is small but with sufficient options that I could imagine almost everyone will find something for their requirements.
This is a lovely cafe with warm friendly staff, a nice sitting environment and some excellent food (all freshly cooked in house). The fact that you are also helping support an invaluable local charity can only be a bonus. Keep up the good work guys!!
An ideal place for 11’s or for snacks at any time! Great Cappuccino or other hot drink and a delicious cake for around a fiver or less. Quick service and pleasant environment adjacent to the second hand book area of this Charity Shop.
We visit this cafe generally 1 to 2 times per month. Always good value. Great tasty food and friendly obliging cheerful staff. Highly recommended
