Popped in today at 2pm for a quick snack with my Mum. Ordered Seafood chowder and toast, coffee and a savoury muffin perfect for a mild winter afternoon. Spotless cafe, good range available even though it was later in day and super service with a smile . Thanks so much!!

Excellent, the food was so good; the coffee was good but next time I will ask for it to be hotter. Nice service too. I need to add that the date and orange scone is delicious

The best mocha i've ever had!! Great options on the menu and fantastic food. Highly recommend for a breakfast, lunch or even just your coffee break. (Also the scones are made fresh and they're delicious)

I personally love the food and coffee here. This is a modern cafe with experienced staff. A good variety of cabinet food along with other items they can prepare. Bonus is the interior court yard you can also sit in and use. This is completely covered and allows all weather times
