This cafe is adored by the locals. I enjoyed a rich and delicious coffee. While there are indoor seats available, there were also tables set up outdoors. Although I didn't order a meal, many people around me did, and it looked promising. I look forward to coming back. Thank you.

Stopped for a bacon and egg burger and coffee. Service was absolutely lovely and the burger was amazing! We're from the Gold Coast and this tiny little Cafe out shone anything available down there. Would highly recommend for a pot stop and a quick bite to eat. Presentation of the food was beautiful too.
