Great little place (around 4-5 tables) with wonderfully warm and friendly owners! My fiancè and I visited for a breakfast. We both had the full English which comes with orange juice and choice of coffee or tea. Everything was cooked to perfection and with very little oil. I had bacon (they even cut the fat off around the edges!), sausage, hash brown, mushrooms (so good!), beans, scrambled eggs and a slice of toast. Had a lovely latte too. My Fiancè had a couple of different items and polished off the lot, which really is a rarity! The owners are lovely, they have a nice chat but do leave you alone to eat..perfect! They treat everyone with utter respect and deserve more of the same back. Superb prices too!!! Please visit this little, unimposing hidden gem for a banging breakie!!!!!!

5 * service every time The owners of this little coffee shop are just so lovely from the moment you walk through the doors. You are greeted by both of them with a very cheery hello and you are asked how you are. Genuine lovely people with scrumptious food on the menu. Be very happy each time we have been there and they pride themselves in customer satisfaction and they remember what you like to order too x . I for one look forward to a visit for 5star service and now a lovely friendship with the owners Ismael and Lamia x Keep being the amazing couple you both are xx

Thank you so much Shelley Marie Bellamy. You made our hearts so big. From the first moment you walked in to our coffee shop, you made us,you and your family, feel like we've known each other for a long time. It's because of you, our customers, that we are still here. It is only fair that we go the extra mile to make sure that you are all well looked after.

Family run.. Brilliant food Worth a visit or 2. Try a full English breakfast Wonderful. MONDAY MORNING BREAKFAST. start the week off, trendy & Full of energy... GREAT NEWS DISCOUNT DAY... Wednesday..? thank you. Wednesday morning @10.26am. Radio 2 music being played softley in the background, it's not overpowering, but nice. 4 people in here eating. I had to leave in a hurry, but if the full English breakfast was ❤️ like a couple Months ago...it will be gorgeous. Still the best Family RUN cafe in Kettering. prices still very respectable Compared to other cafes.
