What a lovely little Cafe, friendly staff, tasty food, the best hot chocolate I've had in a long time. Ordered Tuna, Cheese and spring onion jacket potato with salad & Bacon & Brie panini with salad. Both were delicious. This was recommended by a friend and I'll recommended to others.

Called here Weds morning after reading their Google reviews. Free street parking to the front but ensure that you display your disc. We received a warm welcome in this clean and tidy dog friendly establishment. Poached eggs on granary toast with added beans and bacon, and an order of white toast, butter and marmalade. Along with Americano and also I got a cappuccino to take away afterwards. Everything was quality, cooked to perfection and really tasty, coffee amazing also and all value for money. The impeccable service completed a perfect experience.

Cute little cafe. I was waiting for my bus and this cafe was just across the street. When I tell you very few people make good hot chocolate I MEAN IT. This is another great find for a good hot chocolate. I just got a toast. Did not have time to try their other menu options. Atmosphere was really nice. The staff is very nice. Beautiful smiles. Thank you cafe Rendezvous.
