Been looking for a cafe with a garden or courtyard. This cafe has a lovely outside dining area under trees and umbrellas as well as an indoor dining area. On street parking not metered. Lovely friendly staff, great coffee and hot chocolate. Little cakes just the right size for kids or a small bite to have with coffee as well as full size cakes and slices. Varied menu as well. We had coffee and hot chocolate which was the perfect temperature. Definitely recommend this cafe.

Lovely Cafe. Friendly service. Tasty food. I personally was disappointed when I paid about $12 for a chicken pie & asked if it came with salad. Was told it could be added. There was no mention of extra cost, but I was charged about $6.50 extra for a small bit of coleslaw. $23.50 in total with coffee.

Cannot express how impressed I was with the service of this new owner and his crew. Came in with a booking and was placed in one of the larger back rooms. Comfortable, cool for weather, light and airy, enough room to sit at table or at adjacent chairs. Food served fresh. Tasty. Worthwhile eating. Drinks were made to order. Amenities clean and smelled lovely. Shop clean. And you can see there will be changes coming so watch this shop's space! List it as one of your new faves and you will be well pleased. If you're not, the owner would like to know so he can fix it! Such a great place. And worthy of business lunches or smaller corporate meetings.

Great place for a quick coffee and sweet. Croissants and muffins at the ready in the morning along with a selection of slices to choose from. The coffee is available all the ways you might like along with a selection of milks and alternatives (soy, oat, etc). Inside and outside with abundance for those looking for a sandwich or a place to chat. Dozens of riders stop for a coffee on their morning ride with plenty of additional seating available around them. The barista was a bit stressed while we were there but it didn’t affect the coffee quality. Lil rough around the edges the morning this morning, but didn’t bother me any. The poor lad working with her had to enjoy her company though. Overall great stop along the major road for both pedestrians and motorists. Highly recommend. Almond croissants $8.50 Muffins around $5
