I usually only leave negative reviews when I find locations that simply don’t do what they’re supposed to be doing, but I had to make an exception for these guys, they deserve all the praise. Every time I come here, the food, no matter what I get, is delicious, looks really appetising and comes out shockingly fast. The seating areas are also fantastic; plenty of spots in shade or sun, nice and spaced out, in a natural yet comfortable environment. Probably the only downside is noisy kids, but hey, kids gotta have their fun too. I’d go as far as to say it’s the best restaurant experience on the Central Coast, definitely a must visit.

What a wonderful find. Thanks to Google map search, this cafe suggestion came up and we decided to drive over and try it. To our surprise, it’s got a great vibe, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Nice atmosphere. Just so amazing. Food is so good and their coffee is superb also. Can’t find any fault with it. So happy with this rare find!

The food and drinks were spot on, no complaints from me or my daughter. I had the schnitzel burger and added bacon, my daughter had Belgium waffles and we had a tropical frappe 😋

This morning my family and some friends visited The Secret Cafe on the recommendation of my daughter who lives nearby. Upon arrival we were greeted by one of the very best front-of-house people I have ever come across. Lachy, you are amazing. For someone your age you have an amazing grasp of customer relations. The coffees were amazing, the food spectacular and the service was on point. We also loved the atmosphere. Seriously, if you are looking for a new place to enjoy a wonderful meal, good times and great service on the upper central coast … look no further. I’ll certainly be singing your praise to my friendship circle.
