These guys were amazing. There for 12 hours as part of Day in Loo and was blown away with everyone. And thanks for letting us use the venue ♥️

Amazing cafe in town. One of best food n customer service. If u follow me or read my review, price,customer service n food key to cafe business. How critics I can be. So this is highly recommended. Regularly here for great 5 dollars bacon n egg muffin with salad. Where can u get this kind of price. Have I mentioned large coffee only 3.5 dollars. Plus even it’s cheap but damn the food quality is amazingly great. Come n enjoy.

Lively atmosphere. The setup of the place was the best part. Service was good, food was ok. We ordered the $10 steak, fries and coleslaw with the purchase of a full priced drink. Margarita was average but the mango drink was awesome!

First impressions not amazing. Walked in and stood at the bar for a minute(i was the only one at the bar) Had a few staff members walk by me to clear some tables. Just gave me a look and they didn’t say hi or acknowledge me. After waiting around a bit longer i just gave up Unfortunately nobody came behind the bar to serve me. Went to the craft beer bar on the corner opposite and was warmly greeted.I operate a bar myself in Australia and even if myself or my staff are sweating balls trying to get things done, we always make an effort to greet people with a smile and make them feel welcome as soon as they enter the premises.

Had lunch here today. Ordered 2 steak specials. Asked to swap chips for vegetables but refused as they don't change specials. It came with very salty coleslaw. My steak was suppose to be med/well but it was rare & grissly so left most of it. Ordered a soda water which was all ice with 3 mouthfuls of soda water. What a waste of money. The guy at the bar said sorry about steak but that was it. Much better pubs to eat in nearby.

Had breakfast here and they did not disappoint. The meal was delicious and coffee was well made. Service was also very friendly and prompt. I got the big breakfast and felt the serving was a good size and fulled me up well. Highly recommend this place!

Excellent place right in the heart of CBD. The Best place to visit for lunch, dinner or if ur after beer and bites after work, have plenty of variety of tap beers. Even if you are after breakfast, this place will provide you variety of options and will not disappoint you. One of the BEST mocha in the town. I will definately recommend this place.
