Hosta Coffee Bar Restaurant

I stopped by this cafe while my car was being serviced at the nearby garage and was pleasantly surprised. The cafe has a charming atmosphere with plants throughout, giving it a garden-like feel. There are also outdoor seating options available. I ordered the Turkish eggs with Haloumi and a flat white, both of which were delicious and reasonably priced. It was Tuesday morning at 11am and the cafe was bustling, indicating it is a popular spot.

I wanted to have breakfast at Sprout, previously known as Hosta, after hearing good reviews. I was disappointed to find a sign outside saying they were closed for the day. After a long walk around a confusing one-way system with my 83-year-old mother, we had to grab a wheelchair to get back to the car. We ended up finding a fantastic alternative called Foxes tearooms with immediate parking and great service. It would have been helpful if there was a notice at the entrance of Sprout informing customers of the closure. I was disappointed as there used to be a more direct route when it was Hosta.

My wife, who has limited mobility, made a reservation for breakfast at Hosta coffee shop located behind Premier Plants. Upon arrival, she had to navigate a very indirect zigzag path through the garden centre to reach the coffee shop. Unfortunately, there were no staff members available to assist her, causing a delay of 15 minutes. The car park is conveniently located just a few yards away from the coffee shop, but the owners have chosen not to provide a direct route for accessibility. While the breakfasts offered are reasonably priced, the service can be sluggish at times.

Stoped for a quick butty yesterday afternoon. Didn’t want much as we were stopping in a nearby hotel and having dinner a few hours later. Shared a toastie with hubby and it was gorgeous. Special mention for the side salad which was a work of art, plentiful and delicious. Really lovely, warm, chatty staff. A great place to eat!

Very good lunch time menu. Lots of choice and very large portions. Very friendly staff and the chance to buy some plants.
