Went to this place for dinner on a Fri night. There are 16 dollars specials. Burgers and pasta. I got a Fish Burger and my wife a Chicken Burger. Also got a Kid's Cheeseburger and a Rigatoni Bolognese for the kids. I think each kid's meal was 14 dollars. The food tasted good. I think the price was also good. Some free parking close by

Dropped in on the strength of the reviews. I'm not local, but I am so glad I made the effort to drive across. Nice little cafe in the shopping centre. Staff were friendly and attentive. Coffee was the perfect strength and very tasty and the food was simply amazing. I'll be back for sure even though it's a 45 minute drive from home. Brilliant stuff.

Cute wee cafe tucked away in the shopping centre. Food was great and beautifully presented, was on the smaller size however. Still filled me up however with a cup of coffee!

Wonderful experience here. The food is almost at the quality you would expect from fine dining, with a very creative menu displaying unique flavours and the classics. We had the Moroccan Spiced Chicken and the Bali Chicken Burger(featuring Mi Goreng!) which were both superb. Serving sizes were perfect. Care was taken in the plating, and pride in the cooking. Great experience, will be back to taste more of the menu!

Breakfast for daughter and myself for the first time here. I had poached eggs on toast with bacon added. Eggs were poached as I like them and bacon was tasty. Only issue was 3 ingredients on menu were not on plate, tomato, salad and pumpkin puree. Daughter had smashed avocado with poached eggs and haloumi which she enjoyed . Cappuccinos were nice and hot. Place was clean and we will be back to try lunch and dinner.
