“ Never tried this cafe before and usually it is a bit busy. However on a sunny Sunday morning it was not too bad, so gave it a go. The lemon curd muffin was beautiful, the staff friendly enough, the coffee however was a not up to standard Mocha. It was palatable, just not the nicest Mocha. Perhaps they are better at other coffees and teas? ”

“ Lovely place to go for brunch. Excellent food and a wide range of options for everyone. The atmosphere is cozy and you feel quite settled in once you arrive. It gets quite busy during the weekends, so best to plan ahead of time. ”

“ I love this cafe! The warmed up apple strudel served with cream is to die for, it’s not too sweet at all, it’s perfect. The mochas are good and the fact that they come with marshmallows makes them even better. The eggs bene with bacon is delicious, one of my faves! I just wish it came with spinach, I felt it was missing that. The buttery bread that comes with the eggs bene is amazing, it’s easy to slice through which I love. The place is always busy but there are lots of seats, staff are really nice too! Highly recommend stopping by :) ”

“ Very popular busy spot. Lovely fresh food, pies where tasty . Prices mid range but we where happy to pay for the quality we got. Coffee not the best we've had though, that could be improved. ”

“ Went there this morning for breakfast with my best friend and i knew they had good food but oh boy was I understating them! I had Salmon eggs Benedict and my friend had a premium beef burger. I cannot even begin to tell you how perfectly cooked my eggs were, it was an experience i never want to forget. The salmon was smoked and fresh, the bread it was served on was a ciabata bread that had been toatsed in a pan with some butter and it was so nice and crispy, HIGHLY recommend coming here for breakfast or lunch, they have great options, though i did try their gluten free bread a while ago, didn't like the texture though, but still tasty nonetheless. This place is definitely going to be my new favourite hang out spot. ”
