Popped here while down from Newcastle with a couple of friends. Was hoping for afternoon tea but told I would have had to give 48 hours notice. However the lovely woman who worked there put us a lovely tea together with delicious sandwiches, scones and cakes. We loved it all..... a little jewel and so pleased we went.

Went for lunch and what a delicious lunch it was. The choice was great from sandwiches, paninis to bagles. Also quiches, ploughmans and salads with great choice of chutneys and dressings. We had a beautiful and filling lunch, we weren't going to have cake but looking at the cake cabinet couldn't resist. The ginger and rhubarb cake was scrumptious and served with a beautifully brewed pot of tea.

Thank you to the lovely staff, so warm, welcoming and passionate.

Next time full on afternoon tea!

I was astonished by the amazing taste of the sandwiches and the cakes. The Panini sandwich with sausage and Cheese was just so crunchy and tasty.

My gran goes to Cakes the Difference all the time because it's very near where she lives and she is so thrilled to have such a lovely place open up near her. Every time I come to see her we try to come here for brunch and I think lots of my other relatives can say the same!
The breakfasts, lunches, cakes and afternoon teas are all really good quality and very tasty, not to mention generously portioned and reasonably priced.
When I commented to my gran that it's a shame they can't expand to take advantage of their success and popularity, my gran said that it is precisely because they are small that they are so special, and actually I'm inclined to agree with her. The bigger a business is the less personal it becomes... Paul and Denise are both so lovely and they are what Cakes the Difference!

We love this place - great service, easy to get to and amazing amazing homemade cakes.

I've had a bit of practice of afternoon teas (it's a thing I like to do occasionally) and this one is just the best. Beautifully served on vintage crockery, fabulous friendly atmosphere, and amazing cakes and sandwiches. So many cakes we each took a box home. Just fabulous and lovely as a treat for someone.

They also so take away afternoon tea if you ask them in advance. Think I may well do that next.

Can't recommend enough.
