   We had two brunches here in a week. Good food with cabinet options available. Child friendly with great noise levels. Situated at the back of Kings plant barn which is simply a beautiful oasis of plants. Heaps of parking.

   Visiting family nearby and recommended as a venue for lunch as they had been 3 months ago and had good meals. Disappointed in quality of all meals. Best part of egg bene meals were the eggs but sauce was very bland and bacon was undercooked. Fish in the fish and chip meal was dry. Loaded wedges had to be sent back as cheese and bacon had been ommited from the meal. Lemon and ginger tea flavour was very weak. Basically we felt we didn't get value for what we paid.

   Very poor. Weak lukewarm coffee, almost inedible food. For years I went here regularity for good coffee & lovely food. Since Covid the reduced menu & average coffee was disappointing. Our last visit was an appalling waste of money. At 1.15 the only available items were 2 bacon & egg rolls & 1 filled croissant (they said their chef failed to show up, but they were unable to be flexible with regards to adding anything to bare cabinet). A kitchen full of staff standing around couldn't even make a toasted sandwich. They warmed the 3 rolls & they were almost inedible. Very chewy & tough, almost impossible to cut! Last 2 years I kept trying this cafe again hoping it would improve to it's previous standard as I love the environment, but they have got worse & worse. I don't like to leave a bad review, but they are consistently bad now, & almost inedible last time. EDIT; their lazy standard response couldn't even be bothered to correct the name on their pre-formatted reply. Numerous other similar bad reviews regarding deteriorating standards, poor food & drinks and no change. $50 wasted on our last visit for inedible lunch. Wouldn't consider going again unless cafe owners changed, a shame as the environemnt is lovelly.

   We had family lunch there. Always staff are friendly and lovey relax cafe. Big Breakfast (everything on the plate!) and Fish & Chips are our favourites.

   Lovely atmosphere, really enjoyed the creamy mushroom on the big breakfast plate. The table was a little dirty, but was okay. Muffin tasted as if it was freshly baked this morning. The staff were nice and the coffee was great. A very popular place (family friendly too). Would recommend to friends and family.

   Best cafe around and the only one we have found with a decent sized large coffee (500ml bowl).. Been regulars for years but has just been taken over by Kings themselves. Fast service from a hard working and very pleasant staff. Best home made winter soup anywhere. Agree that it can be a bit too noisy due to the hard surfaces when very busy, but that is just about the only downside. Even when cool outside, blankets are available. Dog friendly and one of the few places around that can cope with a fair sized group and no parking problems.
