"Nice vibe, friendly staff, dog friendly. Food is ok, the smoothies are a bit bland and the food is pretty average. A bit over priced but it's a cafe and their menu is quite a good size. I'd go again."

"I would drive 100kms again and again for their Belgium hot chocolate and corn fritters. The best in the world. Very friendly staff and fresh ingredients in their food have a distinctive taste."

"Had a lovely lunch served by really friendly staff. The food was delicious, fresh and fast! Had the fried chicken burger which had a great balance of flavours and a really tasty side of chips. Also had a taro latte which was amazing. My partner had the chicken wrap which was also really tasty with great flavours."

"Dont be deceived by the humble look of this cafe, the brunch options are plentiful, sophisticated and next level good - it was difficult to decide as they all sounded great! I went with the Mushroom Omelet on Homemade Crumpet with Whipped Feta and my daughter had the Breakfast Gnocchi with Chorizo & Crispy Potato skins. Only downside the venue was freezing and the coffee (small double shot latte) not strong enough."

"Nice little cafe. We had the zucchini fritters, which were delicious. Cappuccino and oat cappuccino, which were good. Also had a cinnamon scroll, which was average, probably better if it was warmed up. Would recommend."

"I don't get to visit as often as I would like because they are always so busy! The food is always well above expectation, and, as I discovered yesterday, they serve the best hot chocolate I've ever had! It's to die for! The atmosphere is great and the staff are always friendly. It's dog friendly if you sit at a table outside. Lovely local spot that I will be making more of an effort to visit. I could honestly drink that hot chocolate all day!!"

"Great coffee. Beautiful location. Variety of brunch options for all diatary requirements , executed well. The eggplant with that crumpet did not go together...clash of flavour and texture (perhaps another alternative?) Variety of non coffee warm/cold options available too. Clean decor and cafe. Well maintained. I can imagine finding a table on busy hours to be challenging. Mid price range. Service is good."

"Whilst the food was delicious, having to wait up to 35 mins for wraps and sandwiches is not on. Would have given 5 stars otherwise."
