> First table customer. Booked about 30minutes before dining for Lunch. First time dining here and walked away very satisfied. Sweet pancakes. Fresh fruits, chocolate sauce and ice cream was sooooo good. 🤤 And a Beef burger with fries. 😍 Delicious relish, toasted brioche and perfectly fried chips. We would definately dine here again. *, Judith Pani Taylor, 3 months ago
> Went here for a quick lunch as it was the nearest cafe. Pie was awesome!, Jaybee, 4 months ago
> First timer of the cafe. We found this by accident as we were in the area and we’re starving. The amount of Gluten Free options they have were amazing so we tried it on. Had a Breakfast Stack and Flat white and both are amazing and well presented, actually all our meals were fantastic and big portions too including desserts! Definitely recommended for Gluten Free & vegetarian diets!, Ludy C, a year ago
