Caffi Florence, Loggerheads

We couldn't resist visiting the award-winning Caffi Florence, in Loggerheads Country Park, just outside Mold.
There's a large car park - and you have to pay, but it is a walker's paradise. Even on a cold February Thursday, it was busy.
Ok, the exterior of Caffi Florence is a bit bland, but, once inside, it is all cool and contemporary. There is an extensive menu and they pride themselves on sourcing their produce locally - and they tell you, on a blackboard, where their produce comes from.
The knowlegeable staff are smartly attired with True Taste award aprons, bearing the coveted logo.
Their own chutneys and jams are for sale on the premises at very reasonable prices.
But back to the food...
We both chose the soup and half round of sandwich option - which, from memory, was £6 or thereabouts.
The soup of the day was a big bowl of home made cabbage and bacon soup. It was a bit of a leap of faith to choose this, but, let me tell you, it was absolutely top notch. Thick without being cloying and rich without being sickly, it was heaven in a bowl. I don't think you could get more seasonal - or more local. A twist of black pepper made it a 10/10 for both of us.
Our sandwiches were plump with ham (my friend's) and beef (mine). Although they were just half rounds, they were large enough to accompany the soup without being too filling. Plenty of mayo and horseradish completed the meal, along with a generous pot of tea for two!
I would imagine that Caffi Florence would be absolutely buzzing in the spring and summer. It's a real winner after a stroll along the Leet or an afternoon tobogganing nearby.
We will definitely return, for their other produce and cakes looked oh so tempting, too....
An 8/10, as the seats were a bit hard and it was a tad clinical.
