They have a great service, and we love it whether we take away or dine in. Plus, they have funny and kind personalities. Great for breakfast and take away drinks. Overall, they deserve a five star review. Teddy

We popped in after our bush walk and it was so busy but the service was fantastic. I thought there would be a long wait on food but it came out quickly. I ordered the smashed arvo and it was so tasty. As soon as we walked in and joined the queue a waiter approached us asking if we needed a table which was great service. Staff are super friendly and they have a great menu, also very reasonably priced x

We had a coffee each and it was exactly as I ordered and tasted delicious. Almond FW 1S Extra Hot. Such a nice atmosphere. Across the road is a An area that leads to a resort and the beach. So we sat right next to a large window and looked at the trees, chatted, took a photo as we enjoyed the time. They close at 2:30pm sharp. We got there at 1:50 so there was plenty of time to have the coffee.

Honestly this is the best cafe around. We visit often and are always blown away how good and fast the food is! Always a bonus with kids! It can get super busy but that’s testament to their great service! Good range of options and flexibility with the menu which is helpful for us with food protein allergies.

This place was humming when we visited today. The amount of people coming in and out was astounding, and credit to the team there with lightening fast service for dine in an takeaway alike. Had poached eggs, sourdoufh, bacon and hash brown - eggs were cooked perfectly. If I had any critism, bacon was slightly overdone for me but, I still thoroughly enjoyed it an ate it all. Definitely coming back if in the area again.

Excellent and most friendliest service. Good street parking. Amenities within reach. Food was fresh and delicious. I had fresh orange juice and lamb roast. Most if not all the lunch menu item has an element of healthy ingredient. Highly recommend this place and I will definitely be back. Indoor and outdoor seating. Pet friendly. Food came out quick (4 adults and 5 kids). Sorry, only have photo 1 dish.

This was a excellent find after our morning walk to stop for lunch. The food and cappuccino were absolutely delicious. I would fully recommend Nasi Bowl with Prowns, and I am sure that Roasted Vegi Bowl is delicious as well because my wife didn't leave me any leftovers to finish off as she normally does
