I LOVE EVERYTHING HERE This café gives me the local vibe which is so special. I love the warm atmosphere, the decoration, and the open space so much!!! Suitable for every occasion: brunch, catchups or gatherings (big groups may contact them in advance). The girl at the register and the girl serving tables were so sweet and lovely I got my order shortly although it was a beautiful Sunday, and the place was so so packed. Highly recommend the Avo Toast - flavourful and delicious *chef’s kiss* Almond Cappuccino was also very nice Will definitely come back

Friendly staff. Great service. One of the best toasties I've had. Very good coffee. The breakfast dishes i saw going to the tables looked scrumptious. Recommend 100%.

We called in on the way to the airport. And what a great way to end a long weekend exploring Clare Valley. The eggs benny were DELICIOUS. And, check out the coffee. As good as anywhere I've had in Australia. We even got to hear the staff singing along to the radio. Legends!

Where it feels like home, where there is singing in the kitchen to Lana del rey's Video Games. Thank you for wonderful service, beautiful food and strong coffee.

Owned by the same operator for 10 years now and keeps the cafe running in a friendly manner and a very charming place to mark your local/regular spot to eat out or sip a quick coffee. I enjoyed a double shot latte and a sweet lemon meringue cupcake with great texture and fresh character. A quiet Little mail which posted good signage and had some great parking. I liked the artwork on the walls, displays of small bites to eat, open facing kitchen and use of soo throughout the cafe for tables, benches, wall covering etc
