The Willow
Warm, intimate spot in Happy Garden known for genuine cooking and a serene setting. Sourdough and mains earn consistent praise, coffee is solid, and the owner engages sincerely with diners. A recent and controversial pivot away from pet-friendly status has upset some regulars; alongside isolated service missteps, this tension marks recent weeks. Most visitors find the food worth returning for. The business houses an art-forward design and works with custom or off-menu items. Tea selection features prominently on their list. Staff manner is notably welcoming when things flow smoothly, though a small number of recent orders have shipped with hygiene oversights or incomplete replacements. The pace and consistency appear to vary.
