Cracking little cafe located within Rufforth Plants. I had a coffee and an excellent bacon sandwich for £5.20 (may 2024) and enjoyed it sat outside in the sun. Service was fantastic and the food was great. Traditional English breakfasts, big portions, taste great and reasonably priced. Will be back.

Call in on a regular basis for a breakfast. The food is always top quality and cooked with care. Paula's kitchen is situated in a small run garden centre which makes it friendly as you get to know the staff.

Food was lovely. We ordered two butties for take away, lovely thick bacon on them and a big muffin (bap/balm whatever you call it ) which was filled, we wasn’t expecting the portion to be as big as it was! They have a cute little dog too, outdoor seating and covered seating. The woman serving us was very friendly and we will defo be going back next time we drive past. It’s located in a farm/garden center shop just of the road which we almost missed!
