    Have visited Shanicatti multiple times, in the last month, and in the last year, as it is our go to cafe, for a drink and gluten free food. Friendly staff, lovely homemade cake, off of the main high street; just lovely. Food As a Coeliac, I have to be careful where and what I eat (have to be strictly gluten free, as I am sensitive to being glutened!); Shanicatti are able to provide gluten free cake (including scones), sandwiches (the 'club sandwich' is so nice...), toasties, and (when available) a delicious Moussaka. They can provide you with alternate milk, such as Oat or Soya, if required. Tea and cake comes provided on pretty chinaware. They also sell milkshakes and smoothies, which prove very popular with kids (and grown ups!). Service The staff are friendly, and always try to help if they can (once they went to get gluten free bread, for a 'club sandwich', as they had run out. When it gets busy, due to the size of the preparation area & kitchen, it can take a while to get your food & drink, but nothing ridiculous. If they have to make milkshakes or smoothies, it can take a little longer. Atmosphere A nice little cafe, off of the main High Street, with a few outside tables. It has a lovely, homely feel to the place; reassuringly familiar and comfortable.

    Lovely independent cafe which I highly recommend. Good choice for coeliac / gluten free customers with plenty of GF alternatives. Special mention for the care and attention to detail of those who served me.
