Had an awesome lunch today made up of a Cajun Chicken Salad. It was value for money and bigger then expected the coffee tasted great also. The atmosphere and garden surroundings are just tranquil. Staff were lovely, obliging and friendly. Would definitely go back again.

Lovely gardens and atmosphere however the food was a different story. Unfortunately it was stale
over cooked and lacked in flavour.
I ordered the lasagna and it was very disappointing. It consisted of just mince and packet bought pasta with a plain sauce; no vegetables, herbs or spices, it did taste very plain. The salad that I had with the lasagna was rather wilted.
When I informed manager of our experience she acted surprised and didn’t offer any refund.
For what i got, it was over priced.
Hopefully they take on this feedback to improve their menu, the cafe it’s got lot of potential.

Reopened in November with new owners – Coffee is EXCELLENT – just would love to see some more in house baking and some more on the menu in terms of breakfasts – possibly some Eggs Benedict or something of that nature?? Great atmosphere, just food letting them down a bit…

Hi Kimberley,
Thanks so much for your review and suggestions. We have started with a very small menu so we can get feedback of what customers want. Having starting the cafe from scratch, we were not sure on the previous menu. We now have a wide selection to add…

Fantastic food! Tasty,original AND well presented! Wow! Definately not the same old same old! It is a 10 minute drive from our place but it far outweighs any closer cafes to us! We have become fast regulars and take all our frinds and family there when they visit us. Good coffee, AWESOME kids plate for only $6 and includes a drink!! It is also neat to have a sandpit for the kids and we have learned to take our own sand toys so all the kids can have fun while the parents enjoy their coffees in the garden! I must admit we have not been during the weekend so we have not experienced the cafe when it is busy…Thanks to the owners and workers for your passion! UPDATE: Unfortunately this cafe only opens on weekends now! WHAT A SHAME!!!
UPDATE: This cafe is now under new management. Lovely people and great service. Still a beautiful spot and there is still a fab kids picnic box AND new sandpit toys! But…unfortunately the food is no longer made on the premises. Gone are the amazing homemade cheesecakes and gorgeous kids cupcakes and in are lamingtons and pies. Top marks for free fluffies though! Our next visit will be to rate the coffee…!
