Did not eat, but had a lovely latte while visiting the Brickworks Museum. Great service, my only observation was when the team kindly brought my drink to the table, they picked up and handled the cup round the rim, which could be off putting if their hands were not clean, but this is a very minor point that I noticed as I work in hospitality. Well worth a visit when visiting the Brickworks.

Popped in here today after going round the museum. It was lovely; bright, airy and spacious. The food was delicious! We had soup, a sausage roll and cake!they were all obviously homemade and tasted divine. The staff were all really helpful and friendly..one of the ladies even ran after us because I had left our take out on the table! We highly recommend this cafe xx

We attended the beer festival at the brickworks which was brilliant. We have been several times before and it is always a fantastic atmosphere and good live music. There were lots of choices of beers and ciders it's great way to see the museum as well.

A Great day out, cafe provides good food cooked to order. The brick museum is very informative, please there are loads of things you wouldn't think you would see. There is also a little train you can go on, if you add gift aid you get a free ride.

Lovely little cafe! Visited in Autumn with my mum and had a really nice light lunch. The cake was delicious. The cafe is dog friendly too!
