I often phone ahead when I'm out walking my dog Barnaby, holly always has a nice big bacon bap and flat white ready for me and my B. We sit outside and watch the world go by. If I've had a particularly productive week I'll teat myself to one of the home made cakes or loaded cookies -delicious!! Stick to the independents, this place is so much better than the chains

Gingerbreads is the best cafe around. Our business is based round the corner from Gingerbreads and we often visit for lunch/brunch and afternoon snacks! Food is scrumptious. I would personally recommend their chicken caesar salad. The cakes and cookies they have are delcious! High end service the staff always go the extra mile and are super friendly. I have also had their grazing boxes for a girls day out - quality produce and reasonable prices i would never use anywhere else if i needed an event catered for. Thank you Gingerbreads!
