Good sized portions and quality food, friendly service, little gem of a café in my opinion - I recommend the Ceaser salad or beef sizzler.

Sooooo sooooo goooooood Found this place by accident and I am so glad I did. The food is so fresh, perfect every time. High quality ingredients, admittedly I only ever get the breakfast, that's because it just hits different, none greasy, really great tasting. The sausage is like nothing you have ever tried. The menu is so varied and the ladies here are brilliant, plenty of seating a great friendly atmosphere. It's like visiting your Nana's when you were a child Cannot rate this place enough. On site free parking** On site clean fresh toilets** I'm only writing this because the ladies here deserve the recognition, I really wanted to gate keep it to myself

A little gem here. A good variety of food from Paninis to Cakes - the lemon drizzle cake is delicious. The food is freshly prepared to order and their staff are very friendly.

My Engineering Training candidates really appreciate the great choice of quality food on the menu and lunch has become their favourite time of the day (so they keep telling me). Myself, I also appreciate all the times the friendly, capable staff were able to help at the drop-of -a hat or provide an out of hours menu. Definitely recommended.
