Arrived here after leaving another premises close by where Covid guidelines were ignored. At Marlene's however things were as they should be. We enjoyed excellent Lattes and scones while feeling very safe and comfortable in this well managed premises. Its comforting at this time to see, not only tables and chairs, but other item like door handles, being systematically cleaned and sanitised. Well done Marlene's. The chocolates on sale here were absolutely divine. Marlene's is a bit hidden away but well worth finding
