I am a regular client who stops in this friendly cafe during my lunch break. Sarah provides very good service and it’s very attentive by remembering clients name which makes me very special. Sidney who is the barista makes a consistent and strong coffee which help me to provide the best card for my lovely aged clients at home. Well done Team!!!

Hands down the best coffee I’ve ever tasted—rich, smooth, and full of depth. This family-owned gem clearly invests in quality beans and takes real pride in every cup they serve. It’s all about quality over quantity here, and you can truly taste the difference.

Delicious coffee and brunch with an Italian touch! Especially loved the Verona toast (gimme all the avo) and still dreaming about that fluffy Ricotta Gnocchi My partner tried the Beef Burger in Turkish bread and he said it was so good as well!

The cafe was so accommodating. My uncle had an accident and we had to rush off quickly shortly after receiving our order. Advised we would be back. Held our table and even made us fresh coffees free of charge when we returned. Great to know there is still some real lovely community cafes around. Will definitely be back to support this great local cafe. Ow and the coffee is great!

Small cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly hrlpful staff. Pre-made food for those in a hurry. Mid range prices for a cafe. Excellent food that cones out fast. Good coffee, they even have lactose free diary milk. Order at the counter. Plates delivered to you table. Self service tap water. They do not take booking so this may not be the best place for a group to come to. Breakfast served to 2 pm through the week and on Saturday. On Sunday breakfast finishes at 1 pm.
