A lovely afternoon spent here resting our legs after a long day out! The staff were welcoming and friendly. There were quite a few bakes on display which looked appetising! There’s also gifts and cards on display! It’s also dog friendly too. The drinks came pretty quickly and we have have some refreshments whilst watching the world go by!!

Been here many times now, for breakfast, lunch, coffee, cake, food is always lovely as is the coffee - hot or iced, Peter is very welcoming, well worth a visit if you are in the area.

The zinc cafe/gift emporium is set in an old re purposed stationery shop and very reminiscent of days gone by , the zinc's atmosphere is tranquil and relaxed with a boutique style approach to your shopping experience and also has a very good selection of cards and souvenirs that are very unique and of a very high quality and are at reasonable cost for a tourist area . The zinc dinning experience is truly a pleasure and portion sizes are generous and presentation of meals is of a very good standard . The zinc is a great place for a good cup of coffee !! which is a high quality blend and medium bodied with a good depth of flavour , that compliments the food here on offer , and is the ideal after dinner drink with a slice of one of the very special fresh baked specialty cakes they have here in abundance ! . I myself have tried most and prefer the cherry Bakewell which seems to have a great following with the locals and visitors alike . The zinc's tea is also very good and is served in your own tea pot and is the more traditional leaf tea and should please the more serious tea lover . The zinc's savory selection and baguettes are very good value and my RECOMMENDATION is the bacon brie and cranberry served with a light salad and a side of crisps , and is an ideal warm up snack when it's a cold day . The zinc's staff are friendly and welcoming and always make the zinc dinning experience a special treat . So if you like a good cup of tea or a good quality coffee with tasty snacks and freshly baked cakes and good levels of service the zinc could be the place for you ! .

Black forest cake was sublime! Home made, so fresh, dense but light, tons of cherry and we were even offered pouring cream which my husband was delighted with! Coffees were good.

Always plesent, lovely team and chilled atmosphere. Dog friendly . Food is fabulous and the iced teams are delicious. Highly recommend. Only downside is as a local can’t always get a seat especially in summer
