A lovely spacious cafe with a good menu selection. We only had coffee and cabinet food, which were both yummy. Staff were pleasant and friendly. Good highchairs, but unfortunately, another cafe without baby changing facilities (we visited on 15/09/24), which was very frustrating when they cater for kids with their own menu and highchairs. I had to change my baby on the backseat of the car. We have since been informed that a baby change facility has been installed and look forward to trying the new facilities when we next visit.

Great place to have a coffee that’s not overly expensive. A large is $6.80 and a small is $5.00. Very friendly staff and great atmosphere. I recommend coming here earlier in the day before it gets too busy. Around 10-11 there are usually no tables available as it gets busy. The owner also used to live in Switzerland which was a nice surprise.
