In a state of major coffee withdrawal post-gym workout, I wandered into the Skylark café(mostly because the steps to grounds suddenly became so much harder!) A very cute interior with additional seating in the back, this café is bigger than it looks. The service was super friendly and I had a lovely chat with the Barista whilst waiting for my coffee. Personally, I like my coffee strong and hot. What I do not like is lukewarm faint coffee-tasting milk. Unfortunately this was the latter, I think the cups are too big so it was a fail for me. The saving grace is the great service and varied menu that I still very much want to try. They also stock pana chocolaye– the new craze from Melbourne(you’re welcome!) to the UK. Skylark is now my official chocolate dealer.

I’ve walked past the Skylark a few times. Each time, I was drawn to it because it always looked so cosy and sweet inside. I recently popped in for lunch, going for the soup and a sandwich; a lovely winter afternoon pick-me-up. I just love thicker blended soups and so the dreamy vegetable-coconut fusion du jour was heaven to me, and the mozzarella and pesto sandwich made for the perfect soup-dipping vehicle. The sandwich itself was a lovely puffy pitta; somewhere between a flatbread and a pitta. The result made for a really filling lunch. Next time, I want to try one of their smoothies as the selection sounded delicious. It’s a lot bigger than it looks, with a hidden back room and a mini play spot for the little ones. Service was lovely and friendly too. — I look forward to my next visit!

I only came in here recently for a cup of latte and a bit of rest time with my toddler because I had heard this café has an indoor play area for kids. Although the play area was smaller than I expected, it was great to be able to let my 1.5 year old son play safely with the toys there while I relaxed with my cup of coffee. There is also supposed to be a music time for babies/toddlers each weekday mornings so I will have to check that out soon sometime.
