This review is based on context. This is a great cafe, it doesn't have much competition but it is trying to be good regardless of the monopoly. fist bump. good - soup, sweets'n service. Bad - retirement village coffee We had a lamb soup (excellent 9/10) and a roasted beetroot thing (expensive 6/10). The coffees are what we associate with old people (sorry - not sorry) they were super hot with foam on top. (we also suspect the machine isn't cleaned from the taste,1/10). Previously we have had the burger 7/10. Look for the meringues and sweets - they're on point It has a comfortable open dining area with a small courtyard to the side. The wait staff were attentive and pleasant and the menu is varied if not a little pricey for lunch. $25avg.

Terrific food, we had a Chicken, pesto and avo Foccacia (I think) between the two of us. Really tasty and HUGE! Didn't need dinner that night! And, a nice pear tart thing that we saved for afternoon tea.

I just wanted fish n chips with the kids on the jetty but hubby wanted good coffee so we came here. We were not really dressed that well and had our kids with us, I felt as if the place was a bit too pretentious for me. How wrong was I! The staff were lovely and tried really hard. The decor was an interesting eclectic mix that mostly worked. The food was really yum! I was worried when I saw the prices but honestly it was fine the quality and size made up for it. Cakes looked great, hubby had a giant scone. Glad to report nothing pretentious (well maybe one or two of the customers!) and a really good experience.

Diverse menu, very generous serves and food prepared with love and skill plus a wine list with local wines by the glass- what more do you want? Well we wanted more and that was dessert and shared a fabulous Eton mess. Worth the long drive to get to this cafe for a delicious meal served without any city attitude.
