“ What a great little cafe. It was our first visit today 12-3-25. The place was busy but we didnt wait long for our coffee and meals. I had fish pie with salad and my wife had salmon rulard and salad. Both meals were very nice and their home made salad dressing was a real surprise flavour that enhanced the meal and the salad was not over dressed - it was perfect. The coffee was also very nice and just the perfect temperature to enjoy it. All in all great value for money and great flavours along with great service done with a smile. We will be back and will bring friends. Well done Cafe Novella & Staff *****! Give them a try - you won't be dissapointed. ”
