We always go here for a coffee when shopping in the centre. A special mention of the lady that served us who was so friendly and courteous and professional. Kids spilled some water , but no problem!! She treated us as though we were family members.

It’s been three years since our last visit though the same great service and excellent fresh, food offerings. The Smoked Salmon Bagel with capers , cream cheese and rocket/lettuce lightly toasted was of the same high standard. Scott and his team run a great operation. We will be back.

In town for business with Woolworths, great service, great coffee and very relaxed atmosphere. Plenty of seating and room to get my work done in my office away from home.

We had a Mother's Day brunch here this morning. 6 of us. Everyone was stoked with their meals and drinks. The owner cleared our table and had a friendly chat with all. The poached eggs were perfect, thank you.
