Most Liked

The friendly and attentive service has also left a mark on visitors, providing a personal touch that makes the dining experience memorable. Many guests appreciate the café's clean and inviting atmosphere, which creates a perfect backdrop for family gatherings or a quick catch-up over coffee.

Most Disliked

Some visitors have noted that while the overall experience is pleasant, the restroom facilities could use a bit of improvement, affecting the overall cleanliness perception. Others have expressed a desire for a broader menu selection beyond fish and chips, although many agree that what Caffi Crane does serve, they do well. Occasionally, during peak hours, the café can get quite busy, meaning longer wait times for food. Those looking for a quiet, quick meal might find the atmosphere a bit lively, especially when families and groups fill the dining area.

First time here. We stopped for a quick lunch. Good coffee and good food. My wife had an omelette made to her liking and I had a tasty toasted sandwich. Staff were very friendly and helpful. A nice cafe and not just fish and chips.
