   A lot of the reviews and photos here pertain to previous iterations of this café. As of 2023 it is under new ownership and has been extensively renovated and rejuvenated. So the ratings, reviews and photos from earlier than this do not do it justice. The fit-out is lovely, with more seating capacity than previously, but it does not feel crowded. The counter food is exceptional. I must admit I was disappointed by the menu, which was absolutely basic generic brunch. No lunch items and no protein other than eggs. But when our meals arrived I couldn't fault them on quality or presentation. Portion sizes were generous but not excessive. Overall it was a good dining experience and we'll very likely be back.

   Doors open in the summer, no problem A nice cosy atmosphere much better on a cold winter's day. A drafty lunch not that enjoyable

   Just stopped by for coffee but was enticed by the lovely food in the cabinet. Got a brioche instead to go with my coffee which I found exceptional. It’s a small cozy place with very nice ambiance. I could not help noticing the steady stream of people stopping by for coffee or baked products to go. Staff were vibrant and friendly which is always a plus in a hospitality setting. Will definitely be a “go to” place for me from now on.

   Went in for a bite and decided a classic hearty sausage roll ($9.90) and mango smoothie ($8) was the way to go. When the mango smoothie came out it was white, I took a sip and had to double check my order wasn't wrong but the server confirmed it was mango. I'm really sorry but there must have been 2 small pieces of mango blitzed up with 99% vanilla ice cream cause I only got the faintest of a taste on one or two of the sips. Not sure about their other smoothies but certainly don't get mango expecting anything.. The sausage roll had potential but the 'flaky' puff pastry was soggy and soft like the $2 ones you heat in the microwave. Nothing like the flakey delight of a double sized hearty sausage roll you usually get. Our server was lovely and friendly however, no problems there at all. And I hate feeling "harsh" but also I don't like getting disappointing food, sorry team. This place is adequate if you're hungry but not to indulge in I would say.

   Great food and wonderful service, came back here twice now. first time was just ordering an coffee but this time actually have time to enjoy the food. Strongly recommend the egg benny with bacon as they use Hellers honey streaky bacon and their homemade hollandaise sauce, you can really taste the hint of honey. Organic food ingredients match with Italian brand organic coffee. Price they offered its worth for spending on it. Roadside free parking for 2 hours is great for catching up with friends too. We loved it. Thank you again.
