5 /5 Annabelle: Early Cafe is a real local favourite and exactly the kind of café that keeps you coming back. From the moment you sit down, it feels calm, welcoming, and unhurried — a lovely place to slow down and enjoy your time.
I had a cappuccino and it was excellent. Smooth, rich coffee with perfectly creamy foam and a neat little heart on top, showing real care in how it’s made. It was served hot and full of flavour, not bitter or weak, and easy to enjoy slowly.
I also had the roast beef dinner, which was proper comfort food. The beef was tender, well-cooked, and the portion was generous without being heavy. It felt homemade rather than rushed or reheated, which is rare to find in cafés.
The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, with a gentle background buzz that makes it feel welcoming without being noisy. Service was warm, polite, and attentive without hovering.
Overall, Early Cafe is a reliable local gem — great coffee, comforting food, and a relaxed atmosphere. Perfect whether you’re popping in for a coffee or sitting down for a proper meal. Highly recommended and definitely a place I’ll return to.
