Excellent coffee and good Almond Breeze milk so this alty milk drinker is happy! Some staff were in training so service was slow, but cabinet food was tasty and well heated. Nice location in new suburban development. Outdoor seating available.

Visited for the first time today. It was quite busy which is always good to see, I like to support local businesses where I can! I had the boss breakfast and my wife had the eggs benny. Both were good and the staff were superb. The only concern is that the chairs were very hard and quite uncomfortable for someone with arthritis. For this reason I almost have a 4 star review but the quality of the food and friendly, helpful demeanour of the staff swayed me towards 5 stars. Fix the seats and I would make it a regular haunt!

Good, black, strong, coffee and well the other stuff. Surprising how many coffee places don't have that. Seriously, a good place for coffee and food

Great coffee and pleasant service, but the mixed berry muffins had no berries visible in them. I was told they mix them up so the muffins don't go soggy. Disappointing for the price you pay.
