Drive out for lunch.

Stopped here for lunch after a drive along the coast. Busy place today. Coffee ok. Small cups. Pricey food. Good tasting. Staff friendly. Staff clearing tables fast.

Don't be distracted by the plants and ornaments!

This little gem is located within the Nursery and is a fine place to stop for a cuppa. The menu is very good and even offer a healthy range of products to enjoy.

Managed to resist the stunning fries (but only just)

Popped in for a coffee on the way home from the North. Late morning, almost lunch- time but resisted. Excellent Long Black, great hot-chocolate (extra hot as requested) but weakened to try a muffin and a square. The White choc, raspberry and lemon curd muffin...More

Terrible customer service

We have frequented this cafe for years, and have always enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere, good food, friendly staff and cheerful service. Unfortunately our last two visits have been disappointing due to very poor service. On one occasion, some months ago, we placed and paid for...More
