🥰 Absolutely loved everything about this hidden gem. Friendly staff greeted us the moment we walked in and the service stayed flawless from start to finish. A quick tip: book ahead if you can. It fills up fast and you will thank yourself later. We grabbed a shady spot in the lush backyard and my doggy enjoyed sniffing around the green space 🐶. Indoor seating looked just as inviting: well-spaced tables, clean surfaces, and plenty of room to breathe. The whole place feels calm, tidy, and beautifully maintained. 🍽️ The scones are next-level good, light and buttery with the perfect crumb. Every dish we tried was fresh and full of flavor, but those scones are a must-order. Dog friendly, relaxing vibe, amazing food, and standout service. P.S. Already planning my next visit! 😂

Staff are exceptional and looked after us very well. Reasonably priced, great location, plenty of parking, delicious food - Mirko and his team offer exemplary customer service. If highly recommend this restaurant.

The food isn’t bad, the location is nice and serene. I couldn’t give 5 stars though because the lady of Asian decent at the front is unbelievably rude. Horrible attitude, no smiles, no friendly conversation - blunt, rolling eyes and just acting like you are a pest. First time I’ve had someone serve me with this horrible attitude for zero reason at all.. from the second I walked up to the counter. Wil never come back solely for this reason. We were actually taken aback by her attitude. The male and female blonde server were nice though.

Cafe located right in the heart of Abbotsford in a heritage building with lush gardens creating a charming and relaxing atmosphere. Breakfast & lunch menus cater to most tastes and there’s a great range of fresh juice options as well as delicious coffee. Service was fast & friendly. Today I tried the mushroom omelette and it was delicious - light & tasty and just the right serving size. This is a great venue to meet up with family or friends and take some time to chat and chill. Various table sizes suit small & large groups too. Highly recommended.

Attended a bridal shower here and it was absolutely perfect. The staff were unbelievably so friendly & welcoming. We had high tea including scones, arancini balls, fritters, finger sandwiches, salmon sliders & an an assortment of sweets. Everything was fresh and tasted divine. The coffee is also great here. Absolutely recommend if you are looking for a garden type theme bridal shower, perfect atmosphere for this. I will definitely be returning
