Best cafe in Melksham. Delicious food and drinks, welcoming and helpful staff and charitable community focussed ethos. We arrived before opening hours and the volunteer team went out of their way to accomodate us anyway. Many thanks. We are now regulars

Tucked away off the market place, ran on a charity basis with some volunteers helping run the place. I had a latte which tasted good and was very hot (something you don't always get first time nowadays) and a bacon and egg bap, which again tasted great and was also nice and hot. I go in here every 6 to 8 weeks and have always had great food and service. Definitely worth a try, ooh and good prices.

Excellent service from a team of volunteers. Coffee is always piping hot and very good. Great deal which is bacon bap and a large coffee for £3.70 much better than the big coffee chains.

Lovely food, good price, nice people. We were surprised to learn it was staffed by volunteers. Great community resource. Better than chain or profit based cafes
