★★★★★“Lovely little cafe. Very limited seating outside but a couple of tables outside. Friendly staff and a chilled vibe. Matcha was excellent, pies were delicious too.”
James Evans
★★★★★“Great little hole in the wall coffee spot (limited inside and outside seating) . Not far from Gardiners trail and quiet streets( outside school pickup drop off times) to ride up. Coffee was top notch and super friendly service. Will be stopping again on weekend rides.”
