What makes this cafe special is the old world European elegance of the furniture, light fittings and decor. You feel like you have just stepped into a saloon in 19th century Europe. This cafe is best for spending a leisurely afternoon with coffee and cake. They have good fresh, moist cakes although the range is not huge. Best of all, the cushioned sofas in enclosed booths seating allows a lot of privacy and comfort.

We celebrated a birthday here at Donchos Cafe. We all enjoyed our drinks, and the food. Service was very quick and efficient. We sat outside and were able to enjoy all the greenery surrounding the outside tables. Very enjoyable experience and heartily recommend Donchos.
