The 9yr old behind the counter taking orders might appear cute at first. But when the hot beverage gets served in a chipped cup and 30minutes after ordering. No plate so no where to put the teabags. Not everyone likes strong tea. No sugar on tables or teaspoons. I had to get up 3-4 times to get what I needed to eat and drink what I’d paid for. Eggs overdone on two of our dishes today. We ordered poached eggs. Not hard boiled eggs. Sourdough was barely toasted. Tables took forever to be cleared. Suggest they give table numbers when orders are taken. Two of us on a table ordered straight after each other. One of us finished before the others food even arrived. Also suggest the child working there wears footwear. Walking around barefoot is not a good look and bad OHS. Is a 9yr old even allowed to work? Taking work from other people who actually have bills to pay. Will not be back

Really bad experience, the wait was 45 minutes. The server could of told us that before we ordered. Once we finally got our meal the bacon was raw and the toast wasn’t even toasted. Don’t waste your time, go to cheese me baby and get a toastie, twice as fast and twice as good also half the price 😂

Great coffee, and the food was on the money.
Great selection of meals and drinks.
Love the styling of the place and staff. Even the locals had a good chat with a couple of them. Great place to enjoy with company or solo.

Absolutely 💯 fantastic Hazelnut Latte with the perfect balance of Hazelnut and Coffee which can easily not work. The White Chocolate and Raspberry Muffin was so perfect with crumbs falling off which is nice and light as you can see 👀. Highly recommend and will return here one day as I am not local. PS. Sorry ate most my muffin before I took this photo 😅 was too delicious.

We visited on the way back to Brisbane after a weekend away with the family. Hands down amazing food - will visit again.
Interesting reading the other reviews here. The food didn't come out immediately but I wouldn't say we waited an exceedingly long time - and the place was packed.
Waitstaff we're friendly, engaging and helpful, especially patient with extra stuff we needed for the kids.
Prices were fair, food was worth the cost.
We will come back when down next
