Our first lunchtime visit, and certainly won't be our last. Can't say anyone will be amazed, but this is certainly a great local cafe. Friendly service, paced to suit the diners, and an appealing variety of breakfast and lunch dishes and drinks to choose from. Our selections were delicious, with ample serving sizes very well presented. Highly recommended, particularly the outdoor seating on a day with pleasant temperatures.

As usual the food & coffees service was very good. I paid $120 30 for the $105.30 bill so $15.00 could go to tips for the staff who served us. Thank you. John
