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!!
