Awesome cafe just off the busy Main Street. Service was lovely & although it was busy when we arrived, our food came quickly. I recommend the tradie & the big breakfast - they were delicious!!! The owner came to ask us how our food is & if everything was ok - She is sooo lovely! Love this place - We’ll be back for sure!!

Beautiful day to sit and relax in the sun. Our food arrived and we were pleasantly surprised by this huge fish burger. Loved it!! Great service and the meal and atmosphere was awesome. Highly recommended, explore this hidden Cafe just off the main street.
