“Fantastic coffee :) Morgan is very friendly and welcoming. Her pastries are excellent. We’re so glad we decided to go the extra mile to get coffee here. Just a trailer in a car park for now, but we’re sure the business will grow into something bigger in the near future.”

“Free Function Room Hire. Was there for.21st birthday. Had a great set up and easy access to and from Kitchen. The old features to the place added character and great atmosphere. The bar tab procedure worked well.”

“Took 3 of my cousins to dine there for lunch. The food was amazing, the service was amazing and love that they have pool tables since we love playing pool. Overall 10/10, definitely recommend them.”

“I recently visited this charming cafe and was blown away by the exceptional food, the friendly staff, and the very reasonable pricing. Nestled in a secluded spot, it's the perfect place to unwind and enjoy a delicious meal. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with thoughtful decor that adds to the overall charm. I ordered the burger with fries and a cappuccino, both of which were fantastic. The burger was cooked to perfection with fresh ingredients, and the fries were crispy and well-seasoned. The cappuccino was rich and smooth, a perfect complement to the meal. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure that every detail of my visit was enjoyable. Their warm hospitality truly made the experience special. Overall, this cafe offers a perfect blend of excellent food, great service, and a peaceful setting. It's definitely a hidden gem that I highly recommend!”

“We had an amazing lunch in this branch at The Base. Loved the food and their coffee, with wide selections on the menu. They've got a huge space for indoor and outdoor seats. The place was not that busy at 3pm, just a few customers so the service was really quick. Happy with our orders!”

“Delicious food, loved the spicy gumbo with jalapeno cream toasted brioche. Ate at 10.30am and didn't need lunch! The Ricotta hot cakes were prettier than a picture. My friend said they were like soft clouds and the rhubarb and berry compote was "yum!". Delicious and generous sized coffees.”

“Omg Sheryl, Kristian and Ryan were amazing they went over and above what was expected .. thank u so much”

“I stayed at the hotel many times. Only really have breakfasts but this weekend I tried their dinner buffets (Fri & Sat only). It was fabulous nice food selection and of great quality. Hopefully this buffet will continue and I will most certainly return.”

“An exceptional experience, flavourful, thoughtful, and generous. This wasn’t their presentation, it’s takeout, but the quality absolutely deserves a proper photo and review. The restaurant came highly recommended by my fussy Indian colleague, and I can now say: I’d rate them even higher. What truly stood out was the service. The young man who took my order called me back to double-check if I was okay with gluten, something that is typically the customer’s responsibility to mention. That level of care was genuinely above and beyond. Every dish impressed. The Chicken 65 was incredibly tender, generously portioned for just $17, and packed with deep, rich flavor. The onion rings were an unexpected delight—lightly spiced, not greasy, and a perfect textural contrast. But the star of the meal was the Palak Paneer. It’s easily the best I’ve had in years. The spinach was fresh and vibrant, the texture velvety, and the seasoning masterfully done, mildly sweet, gently creamy, with spices that complemented the dish instead of overpowering it. It reminded me of how Palak Paneer is meant to taste. It was so good, I paused mid-meal, plated it properly, and took a photo, because food this good deserves to be celebrated. Highly recommended.”

“Staff are super friendly and the food is really amazing. Ive had lunch here a few times and would definitely recommend it for something super tastey and quick! This is a brilliant place for some lunch, a mid afternoon snack, or a drink and some people watching.”
