Couldn’t be happier really. The guy serving was genuine and friendly, the coffee was fantastic. So good I had to come back again later to get another and it was even better the second time round. The food was delicious and well priced and the muffin….. the muffin was phenomenal to put it lightly. Best I’ve had from anywhere. Seating is inside and outside with a nice cosy spot inside and a nice open space out the front. So yeah, only down side is I live an hour and a half away. Thanks team!

I’m really amazed at the staff…well they got my order wrong the first 2 times because it was a bit complicated, but the third time I went in, the lady memorised my order!!! Pretty amazed! This is my go-to coffee place now and it’s super close to work. Breakfast wrap is just perfect too! I pair it with my complicated tea drink which they can create so perfectly. I just wish they could play calm music (some Hollow Coves or Rod Coote please lololol) in the morning haha as I like staying there for a good 15 minutes and just do nothing/read the news

I love this café! Everything is delicious, from the drinks to the desserts, but what truly stands out is the customer service. Carolina is the best, always with a smile and exceptional service. Highly recommended

As soon as I walked in, the first thing I noticed was the girl taking orders at the EFTPOS. She spoke with such elegance and softness, greeting everyone with a warm “good morning” before taking their order. She served the food and coffees with a sense of passion and calmness, always smiling. The coffee was one of the best I’ve ever had, and I really loved how they offer multiple healthy options for both dine-in and takeaway. It was all so beautiful.

I neeeeever leave reviews. Much less give star reviews. Amazing service, friendly staff, and the coffee (the real reason I was there) was perfectly balanced. The test latte was amazing, and somehow the iced long black was one of the best iced drinks I've ever had. It's just espresso and water o_0 I'll be back again ^_^
