During holidays had brunch here 3 times. Karen served us each time. Attention to detail, also offered complementary cold water. Coffee is soft in taste, smoothie balls and tosties are good portion and fresh

I love this little cafe! The coffee is excellent, the food is delicious with big hearty portions and there’s always decadent sweets. It’s a surprise to find a cafe with exceptional customer service from all staff across multiple visits — it’s clear to me that a high level of service is part of the culture. Worth getting out of the city for this one.

Food was good. I got a granola bowl, very nice. The breakky smoothie was dreadful tho, definitely not recommended as a first smoothie to start your day. Service was great.

A very cute place in the middle of the city with a very positive vibe. The ladies in charge of the cafe were very helpful. The food is amazing. The coffee shop is busy in the morning with so many people grabing their coffee on the go. The coffee is really good. It was really great to start my day from that little cafe.

Nice cafe, very quick service and cheap. I had the brekkie wrap and a mocha. The coffee was not to hot. The wrap was delicious and fresh.

The quality of the food was excellent for the price, and the service was just right — friendly and attentive without being overbearing. I ordered the Pina Colada smoothie bowl, and it looked amazing. It tasted just as good as it looked — I enjoyed every bite until the very end!
