Good Taste Cafe - Keswick (opposite Rohan shop)

Too warm in the seating area upstairs - do something about the heaters. Friendly service, if a little slow to arrive with the drinks and the caramel shortbread. An improvement on the latter from Bells - Wigton, much sweeter, chocolate thicker and resembling the dark stuff, caramel thicker but biscuit disappointing. Filled a gap perfectly fine and was sweet enough to begin to suggest magic, but something nagged. Doubts remain as to the wholesomeness of this effort. The shop seemed to have a selection of home made and imported biscuits. However, the latter seemed to be from those dubious olde worlde country cottagey biscuit concerns that predominate in too many indie cafe's and it's never entirely clear what was home made and what just came unwrapped in a large display case but was still sent out from Factory-ville, Nantucket and hadn't had the care of the local Mrs Moppet and her worn oven gloves.
