best gluten/dairy free cakes I've found in the NW. Highly recommend if you have any allergies/intolerances. Even if you don't the drinks and cakes are amazing!

We had a girly lunch there yesterday the food was so fresh and delicious we had to try some cakes as well which were all home made. Service was five star as the lady who works there runs it as her own business and she makes sure you get the best of everything. Highly recommend and we definitely be back soon.

An absolute gem of a place. We go weekly, the owner Alex is genuinely such a lovely person. She is fantastic with my toddler and baby, and is coeliac herself which makes us all feel so safe dining there. The coffee is my favourite in Southport- and the cakes are just something else. Thank you for opening such a wonderful, safe place for people with dietary restrictions.
