5 This Cafe has such a homely and friendly feel. I stopped past after a last minute car spill disaster and whilst waiting, treated myself to a coffee. The coffee was perfect and the staff were lovely. You can feel the sense of community they have built here amongst the locals. It is a real hidden treasure. Looking forward to returning
4 Frandly staff ..im a big stack sanger lover and there turkes breed sets it aside from all the ather ive eaten
5 Honestly the best Fish burger I’ve ever had - on for Australia Day special. Definitely worth it!
5 This is our favourite place to go for breakfast. By far the best Eggs Benedict and Spanish omelette in all of Newcastle. Great value for money and affordable for a family of 4.
4 Can definitely see why this cafe is popular with the locals. Ordered the breakfast wrap and a mocha. Plenty of seating inside and outside under the shaded umbrellas. Staff were very quick and didn't wait too long for order to arrive. The breakfast wrap was stuffed with eggs, sausage, hash brown and bacon with bbq sauce. Was very filling and delicious although I felt the price ($18) was little high for a common burrito wrap with cheap ingredients. Fortunately the wrap was very generously filled so the price did feel a little reasonable. Menu is very big, with one side for breakfast items and the other side being their lunch items ranging from burgers to ribs. Will definitely come back to try their lunch menu which I'm sure will be delicious too. All in all it was a delicious but pricey breakfast in total a little over $25 for a wrap and coffee but guess these are the times we are living in now.
4 First time here in ages New owners very good food, I had the Big Brekky and coffee fast service . I'd recommend this plenty parking I only live 5 minutes away so definitely be back.
