Great coffee. Yes - it can be a bit noisy, but that's because of the food and coffee. It's popular. Great that they have re-opened on Sunday morning.

Our large family stopped in at this Cafe for lunch this week while on holiday. The food and coffee was delicious. There was a great kids menu and my partner had the big breakfast and loved it. I had food from the cabinet and it was some of the best cabinet food I've ever had. There was 19 of us in our group and the food and coffee still came out so quickly. The service was lovely too. Thank you

Excellent food and prompt service. My partner and I enjoyed a delicious meal at a reasonable price and we we're struggling to finish our generous portions. Highly recommend stopping by and trying.
