Grabbed a large black coffee, large latte, hot chocolate, beef Smokey burger, brekky burger and a couple of hash browns. Food came out quickly and everything was fresh and decent. Service was friendly and efficient. Nothing mind-blowing, but a solid all-rounder for a Sunday morning. Would go back.

Enjoyable place for a nice brunch! Fairly priced, very well presented and casual environment outside but undercover. This place is worth a stop by for nice Cafe food, hot coffees, delicious fresh juices or shakes and almost everything in between. Everything served here looks delectable, even a simple toastie or croissant!! Will be returning for sure - keep up the variety! My only critique is that I wish the Southern fried chicken was actually oil-fried as it wasn't crispy, didn't seem battered (kind of seemed grilled??).

Is on busy Guildford Rd but sitting indoors is quiet enough. The outdoor seats are noisy and the backyard courtyard is not exactly a garden setting. More a room of tables and chairs. The big plus side was the service, friendly and quick. And perhaps most importantly for a bike rider (me) and his mate (also a bike rider) the great coffees and morning tea. Banana bread and a large peach & chocolate muffin - truly excellent. Sit indoors, away from the fridge, and make use of the bike stand outside. My mate and I agreed we’re going to return.

Magnificent! Ordered the Big Breakfast, fantastic! Crispest bacon, exactly how I love it. Home made baked beans - delicious. Chicken sauages - delicious. Home made fried potato has brown - delicious. Serving size, perfect. Flat white - perfect temperature, chocolate after taste. I definitely will be back.

Been meaning to come here for some time after ordering delivery from here, and was not disappointed. Food was great and service was lovely. Decor was quite nice, and the location isn't bad either. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area.
