Manager has a very crappy attitude to complaints. Too busy all the time so they don’t care if people come back or not toilets not clean, no non-smoking outdoor section, yet supposed to be child friendly. Childs play area pretty dirty.

This place needs a jolly good face lift! It’s got tired and grungy decor and it would seem to me that who ever owns this place feels that it’s so bustling with customers (which it is) that it doesn’t need to spend on updating the interior. I suppose they have a point, but I still resent going here and sitting down to have my coffee and cake in unappealing surroundings. This will catch up with them eventually, surely?! The grottiest thing about the place is the ceiling… it’s got fabric suspended from the ceiling which looks like it has been the 30 years and is covered in dust and dead bugs. C’mon, pull it down!! It’s actually a fire risk. They have a good range of bread available to buy, which I have bought many times, however it’s not always fresh which is disappointing when paying $6 a loaf. The upside of the Stone Oven is that it has a kids play area which is a life saver for parents of little kids, has good coffee and a very wide range of cabinet food. I have never ordered from the menu so can’t comment on this.

This place is always busy and we always go when we visit Devonport. Good fair prices $14 for bacon and eggs, and kids pancakes (they get 3 big ones) with syrup and blueberries for only $6.50 each. Food is consistently good and coffee good too. Yes it can be a little slow when busy so it pays to get there early (for breakfast that is).

Like a child walking into a lolly shop; the excitement to see all the colourful food. The variety and selection is overwhelming. Never had a bad meal there. There are different varieties of salads, pastries, cakes, pies and quiches and the list goes on. The cooked breakfasts are generous in portions. Great beverages and the service is good and fast.

Not quite gourmet but very satisfying.

This place is a Devonport institution. I love to hate it. Yet despite all of the cafes in Devonport I do go back.
On the good side, the coffee’s better than average, there’s a kids’ playground [which closes about 3pm just as school comes out], it’s large and it’s not too quiet. The bakery items are very nice.
On the down side, it could do with a damned good scrub and some ugrading of the furniture and decor. At times service can be dreadfully slow. But that’s not all the time.
