“ Great little cafe with a tremendous view! The service was friendly and heartwarming, and the food had a fantastic homemade vibe to it. Sadly most cafes don’t have many sweets these days but this place had lots of cakes and treat all made on site. Also do try their The Nut scones. They’re big and fluffy. ”
“ Popped in for breakfast before climbing The Nut. A fantastic breakfast was had by the both of us with Turkish bread breakfast roll and the breakfast wrap. Top coffee and excellent service. Great view looking out over Stanley. Highly recommended ”
“ We stopped in to Touchwood Cafe for late breakfast. We had a seat by the window with a glorious view of Stanley. The scones were light and fluffy, the raspberry jam was sweet and tart and the cream had just a hint of vanilla….totally scrumptious The eggs on sourdough were cooked to runny perfection and the grilled tomato was sweetly caramelised We definitely recommend a visit ”
“ Touchwood Café in Stanley, is a delightful spot. Sitting at a table, sipping coffee, and listening to music while gazing at the distant sea and the charming town is incredibly relaxing. This is also a perfect place to spend a whole day doing nothing. ”
“ We arrived for a late breakfast at around 11:30am and it was super busy. The ladies at the counter advised us to wait in the front room until a table became available which was only around 10min or so. Eggs on toast and a bacon, cheese, tomato toasty is what we ordered along with our cappuccino and hot chocolate with some chocolate cake. The food was very tasty and the coffee was good. The service was great. Definitely check this place out for breakfast in Stanley ”
“ It was lunchtime so we stopped here for a bite to eat. So glad we did. My husband had the Steak Sandwich and I hade the Wrap of the day (contained fresh fish and salad) both we truly enjoyable. Because I had seen good reviews of the Scones with Jam and Cream I asked if they did take away... sure enough we came away with treat for later. Owner was so helpful and friendly and the young lass that served us was a delight. There are a quite a few adults that could learn alot from this young lass. Would highly recommend. I don't often leave tips but I certainly did here ”
