After a run at Cave Barnett Park, we came here for brunch. It must be a very popular café around here—there was quite a long queue to order. The food was nice; to be honest, not super special, but still good enough. What I really liked was the atmosphere—it was so cozy and cute. They have heaps of outdoor tables, a few more upstairs, and even a little section where they sell small goods.

Great little gem in Sumner. Their matcha lattes are among the best I’ve had. Served in the most gorgeous ceramic cup. Service was really friendly.

We had a fantastic experience at this café. The cozy upstairs seating area and the unexpected small shops selling kitchenware and charming decorations made it even more enjoyable. The coffee was excellent, and the date cinnamon scone was one of the best we’ve had in a long time—soft, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. The warm atmosphere, friendly staff, and overall experience make this a place we’ll be visiting regularly. Addit (Aug 2025): The monstera upstairs needs its roots inspected. It may need to be grown in water, as root rot could be causing the wilting.

Definitely worth a visit! Lovely staff, dog friendly inside and out. Very nice baked treats, children's area with activities, upstairs room tucked away for quiet dining and another for gifts. The Earl Grey tea was exceptional, wonderfully fragrant and a local brand! Cheese scone and chilli cheesy pastry perfect too.
