Lovely quiet little Cafe that serves really nice food (the Turkish Roll was delicious) and does the coffee really well. It is a great place to head into when you want to relax into the morning. The staff are very friendly and the view out the window makes it all. A nice, quick spot to stop in at when you're in the area.

Fantastic! Amazing service and friendly staff, pretty much any food you get here is amazing. The decaf coffees were great, and highly recommend the pulled port burritos. There is outside seating or ample seating inside looking out over the lagoon and relax.

Beautiful little cafe with amazing views. We had the eggs Bennie and avo smash, both of which were delicious and an excellent combination of flavours. The staff were very helpful and quick to make the coffees and food. Highly rate the coffees too. Smaller seating area but while we were there, there was always a spare table or two.
