Great little cafe tucked half way up Church Street. It's so easy to walk past but if you need a bite to eat this is a great place to go. The food is tasty, the volunteer staff friendly and personal, and with the profits going to charity it's hard to suggest going anywhere else. There's plenty of seating, mostly outdoors, which makes for a lovely atmosphere. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

I love this hidden gem. This place is our go to for coffee anytime I'm in Malvern. They are so attentive and extremely covid safe, which I love! The food is gorgeous and even though its a stripped back menu at the moment I still love calling in for a morning cuppa and something yummy to eat. Fortunately they have been able to extend into the bookshop next door to allow more socially distanced tables inside as this was the only draw back, sometimes a little chilly if you couldn't sit inside, but the courtyard is pleasant if the weather allows sitting outside.

When in the area we always choose to take lunch here. Good honest home cooking prepared and delivered by some wonderful volunteers. Excellent pricing, menu range and pleasant, spotlessly clean facilities. Produce gluten free scones and cake on the premises, with main a meal options available. Similarly, vegetarian options are available too. Other resources available including a shop. The church opposite is also a wonderful structure that demands your attention.
