"We had a wonderful experience at Monicafe, the food we ordered, jacket potato with cheese and beans was delicious, the side salad accompaniment was crisp and fresh with a lovely coleslaw and mustard vinaigrette. The staff were amazingly helpful and super friendly also, they offered us a mug of tea, yes! I did say a mug! Sheer bliss! A mug anyday for me and my good lady. We also, enjoyed a delicious slice of coffee and walnut cake to follow but the extensive patisserie choice was to be hold. Certainly spoilt for choice. Would we recommend Monicafe, yes definitely call in and enjoy what's on offer."
