This place has been recommended to me by several people, walked past a few times and always seem the place full of customers. Tried it myself finally and totally agree with the recommendation. Delicious breakfast and good coffee. I ordered the zucchini fritters to opt for the healthier menu options and was happy with my choice, good presentation on the plate and tastes amazing. Highly recommended.
I get the feeling that these guys are not getting a fair go since the management changed. I don’t think these bad reviews are fair. I had the goat big breakfast. It was divine. Best mushrooms I’ve had. Best crispy bacon. Best berry smoothie. I thoroughly recommend.
Came in for breakfast & ordered the fritters, partner had the bacon & eggs. Food was absolutely amazing + the coffee was delicious too. Pet friendly & waitress even bought out a bowl of water with ice
I stopped by for breakfast - eggs benedict with bacon, and a latte. The eggs benedict sounded expensive at first, but turned out to be worth it because the serving size was huge. The latte was quite nice. I ate inside. The interior is nice, but it was very warm. Although there's air conditioning, I couldn't really feel it and there was no airflow inside. On a warm day, I'd recommend sitting on a shady table outside instead. Overall, a nice cafe with nice food.
Breakfast wasn't really my thing but I like to try different things and it was different. Well presented as we're the staff and the whole shop in general. Staff were happy and friendly which is what you want first thing in the morning.
Lovely spot to sit in the sun and have a coffee. We stopped on the way through while charging at theMackay ChargeFox station nearby. Seems very popular with locals. The menu looked great and offered delicious looking breakfast till 11am and lunch till around 2:30pm. Closed Sundays. Dog friendly :)
Nice little spot for breakfast or lunch. The lemon tart was very good, and although there was a bit of a wait on the brekky wrap it was well worth it. My only complaint is that the tropical tango smoothie was a bit heavy on the orange and I couldn't taste the other fruits in it. Would happily return
Good service, meals cane out quickly and all our meals were delicious and and cooked as requested. Very busy id recommend
