Reviews
Thomas Reeh
★★★★☆“Nice cafe at the western of the High Street Strip. Outdoor seating also on offer. Coffee is good. Limited range of cakes which is a shame. Food options are good otherwise. Regular Thursday night offering is ‘Pasta and Vino’ night for $29.00.”

★★★★★“We went there for dinner and the food was delicious, with good service. The dinner menu is more bistro style - good portion sizes and hearty. The drinks menu consists of wine and classic cocktails; reasonably priced.”
Chuan Kam
★★★★☆“The service was outstanding! The kids were kept entertained with colouring books and pencils provided by the restaurant, making it hard to get them to leave. The food was decent, but it's the service and atmosphere that would bring us back. The kids absolutely loved their very sweet milkshakes. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and we could have happily stayed for hours.”

★★★★★“Very friendly and reasonable staff, always accommodating. Great dishes on the menu with fresh ingredients, my favourite café in the area and on UberEats...now even having dinner menu.....which looks quite tempting. Had a crispy barramundi piece served on a very fresh salad with kipfler potato wedges and a chirimuri sauce...tangy, but not too spicy....nice. No annoying music, just good rhythm. A very popular place, I had the last table.”

★★★★★“Brunch on a Saturday morning. It was moderately busy but not too much. Cute and welcoming cafe with friendly staff. We tried the Eggs with toast and the “Japanese” pancake. The eggs on toast was pretty standard, not bad not great. I quite enjoyed the pancake, which was a take on the classic okonomiyaki made vegetarian . Interesting flavour, but good nonetheless. This is a good place to check out for a nice meal, and I wouldn’t mind coming here again.”
