I don’t get to visit this café as often as I’d like, but every time I do, it’s such a treat. The atmosphere is lovely — perfect on a sunny day, but even when it’s raining, the covered veranda makes it a cosy and romantic spot to enjoy a coffee while watching the rain. We come here with family and friends, and it always feels welcoming. The food is delicious, the prices are very reasonable, and the whole experience is just so enjoyable. Highly recommended!

George and his lovely crew have been serving the local community for many years. The staff are always wonderful and up for a chat. They put real pride in their work, and the atmosphere of this cute cafe is sublime. The food is great and the coffee is even better. If you're in the area I recommend dropping in, and if you're not in the area you should aim to be. One of my favourite places to have a cuppa, a chat and a squiz at the news paper. Catching up with George and enjoying the fine work of his team is the highlight of the day.

A small little cafe that packs a big punch. When you first walk upto this place it certainly does not look like much, the same can be said when you walk through the front door. Its cramped if there is more then 2 people waiting to order, BUT everything else is just AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING. Firstly the staff, the lady behind the counter was absolutely wonderful, friendly, kind and pleasant. Even though there were people waiting behind me she was happy to chat and indulge my curiosity of the food on offer and the best bit the people waiting behind me did not mind. The guy making the coffees was also very chatty and happy to have a yarn. Very professional and very friendly. Now most importantly the food. I ordered pretty much 1 of everything. A pear and rhubarb muffin, Mmmm its was delicious. A peacan slice, this was so rich in flavour and absolutely to die for. A cherry and I think it was apple tea cake. My partner had this, she said it was delightful. The best was the bread and butter pudding, it had sour cherries in it. So rich, so creamy and oh so fruity. Ill be coming back for more of this next time. I did get more but too much to mention here. These were our favourites. The drinks, I ordered a large skim cappuccino, this was so strong and hot, it just hit the spot on a really cold and windy day. I got my partner a soy hot chocolate and she said it was the best she has ever had. The menu, They have a fairly good sized menu sith loads on it. Plenty of options for everyone. Final word, WE WILL BE BACK, I cannot wait to grab some more food and drinks from this beautiful little shop.
