We went for a late breakfast this morning with the whole family. The staff is very friendly, nice atmosphere and the food is absolutely delicious (and very well priced). We had egg benedict with salmon, tomato bruscetta, big breakfast and Dutch croquettes (home-made). The coffees are also delicious as well as fresh juices and milk shakes. We will be back soon! Thank you

Staff are always friendly and vibrant, food is always on point and cater to my 4year old who loves the marshmallows :) we seem to always nab a booth seat which is amazing considering we have a child who likes to move around. We never mind waiting that extra minute or so because the food is 100% worth the wait. Great location and menu, all the traditional breakfast treats which we love! Affordable prices we keep coming back and my partner has now bought his work meetings here as you guys are fantastic and deserves this review!

Came here for a feed after a cheeky early morning ride down to the gooseberry hill lookout. I can say the staff were very friendly and the pancakes I ordered were nice and fluffy with very fresh fruit. The smoothie was really good too. Would recommend 10/10
