“The NEW chicken parmi was absolutely sensational, Amazing food, Amazing Staff Would highly recommended stopping by!”

“The soy latte in our keepcup was exceptional. We had hoped to try the famous cheesecake, but unfortunately, it was already sold out by 1 pm. We'll have to give it a try next time we visit.”

“Outstanding coffee! From thr moment I walked in i got tue feeling these guys know coffee and it didn't disappoint. The scone was one of the best ive had lately. 100% stopping when I return south”

“Quaint wee place, lovely staff, coffee superb! Will definitely be back ☕”

“Great coffee, great toasties, nice bike ride to quarry and back. Will be back. Well done team.”

“I totally endorse the positive comments. Sarah (or SJ as I now know her) may well be the best barista I have chanced upon. She simply makes the best coffee without question. Extremely efficient. Knows my name, knows my car, knows my coffee of choice. She knows where I am in the line. I don't have to order, I simply sit down, converse with her and it's all done. It's like being Norm on Cheers (for those of that dynasty). Absolutely brilliant. I travel from Lincoln just for the friendly face, fantastic service and good banter. I am now waiting for the batch of coffee and walnut muffins to greet me as I frequent the establishment once again ..”

“Nice and cozy atmosphere. Food to choose from their menu or cabinets. Good service as well.”

“Great staff, grwat coffee. Highly recommended”

“Grizzly always has the nicest baked goods. Their potato sourdough kicks arse, I really wish that they had it on offer more often but it seems to be pretty common at Christmas, as I've gotten to use it for the most killer post-xmas leftover sandwiches for the past few years.”

“If you are staying near Kilmore street or Durham street and looking for delicious coffee and breakfast, must visit this place. Staff is super friendly and ambience is really good.”

“Lovely food & service! All food made on site. Just as delicious as the food they serve for dinners! Best cheese scones!”

“Good service! Staff are all friendly, the new shop, very big. U can find anything which u want , good price! Best place”

“I have never eaten at this place as I usually order their food on Uber eats. Today i made my order but they had forgotten my drink. I rang and spoke to the manager asking for a refund. He was unable to do this and said he would get back to me about what he would do. Within the next 20 mins, he had delivered my drink himself and gave me another one for free. I just want to say how thankful I am to him and his staff for being so kind as to go out of his way to personally deliver the drinks himself. Not to mention, the food is amazing! I would highly recommend this place to others!”

“They are dog friendly and let the dogs inside. Super sweet and accommodating staff who are happy to strike up a chat. The layout is wonderful. This was my second time going, their cabinet food is wonderful but even for the coffee stop we did it’s such a treat.”

“Friendly and attentive staff, yummy food at a decent price, nice view over the estuary. Veggie Grill was an unexpected delight not normally afforded to vegetarians visiting a steakhouse!”

“Yum! Enjoyed my 'chicken eggs benedict' this morning. Staff were also friendly and smiling. A great start to the day :)”

“Niche has been a part of our group's weekly sunrise walk for a few years. It's amazing and I can't recommend it more. The wealth of gluten free options is impressive and tasty (and I am not GF). It is not unusual to see a delightful new flavour combo for the savoury and sweet loaf-- even after a few years!!”

“Absolutely delightful atmosphere with a video showing floral landscapes and tranquil music. Cappuccino good. Friendly staff. As a follower of Jesus, I felt very comfortable here. 4:44 pm on September 19 2025”

“First time here and would def recommend. Had falafel wraps and a slice of fruit crumble. Both very tasty and large serves, for a very reasonable price. Nice sunny spot with choice of in or outside dining. Will be back thanks.”

“Best sushi balls ever you get sooo much for such a small price crazy steal I pray they never change and continue to have good business. 10/10 and sweetest ladies working there.”

“Outstanding pizza and another great feed provided by you! High standards as always! My wife absolutely loved the chocolate fudge brownie and Chocolate Waffle! Next level food keep up the great work!”

“Been going here for years sushi is always the best it can be and the service is always so welcoming. Definitely recommend. ❤️”
