We arrived late in the evening to this little gem of a place, so sadly missed out on the ice cream! Shame, as if it was as good as the rum cake we enjoyed instead it would have been outstanding. There is also a really lovely selection of deli goods, which make great presents. Barbara was lovely, spoke good English and clearly takes pleasure in her beautiful little cafe. Highly recommend it - spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. If this is a new venture, we wish Barbara well.

Went to this place a few times already to have breakfast/brunch. Overall, I really enjoy it. The meat/sausage and cheese offering is really delicious, especially when complemented by some bread and veggies. I was not impressed by coffee, hence a star down. And the prices got increased or the portion got smaller compared to my first ever visit to Barbara Cafe. Overall still would recommend and would sometimes go again myself.
