Had a little stop in here for a coffee and cake and was really impressed. I was happy to find they were still open late on a Sunday, closing at 4pm. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and very attentive. The coffee was absolutely on point, and the chocolate banana muffin was delicious. The café has a lovely courtyard out the front, a great spot to relax and enjoy the afternoon. I’ll definitely be back to try more from their food menu next time!

I stopped here twice on my way to and from Port Macquarie from Qld. Both times were very rewarding. This time I had Eggs Benedict. Presentation was fantastic. It came out on potato rosti which was a unique experience. In all honesty whilst I love a good potato rosti I would have preferred my ham and eggs were on sourdough. However still an enjoyable breakfast. The first time I came here I had a BLAT which was really tasty also. Highly recommended.

Possibly the best sandwich I have ever had! I was waiting for it to come out hard and flat after someone had put all their weight on a sandwich press. But not only was it soft and warm, it kept all the contents inside. Hats off to all the staff.

Honestly one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had. The chilli scrambled eggs with added avocado was epic. The atmosphere was chilled and great interiors. The view was very nice as well. Thank you so much!
