Really nice meals, good cocktails. Service very prompt and quite good value. Dog friendly outside eating area. A bit noisy with the road right outside, but super close to the beach. Accessible.

Beautiful place and staff.. the rise and shine breakie plate is simply delicious with a beautiful tangy tomato salsa

Coffee here was amazing! Had the big breakfast and it was absolutely delicious and very good value, the corn and zucchini fritters was especially nice. Only downside to our experience was that our food came out well before our coffee, but can look past that given how good the coffee and food was. Will definitely be back.

Dropped in for lunch. Had a pizza and coffee. A bit too much cheese on the pizza but I think it was the version we chose. Coffee was good and service was attentive and friendly

Had dinner here for the first time (have had breakfast here before) when couldn’t get into other restaurants as too busy and we were pleasantly surprised with their dinner menu. The pasta we had was really nice. The scallops were ok. Pricing fair also. Waiters were attentive. Overall a good option if in Shoal Bay.
