Delicious lunch of pumpkin, sage and ricotta lasagne. Service was quick and nice to sit in this cafe instead of at the food court.

I come here almost every week with my two toddlers & have been since they were babies. We always feel welcome, enjoy the food & have the best service. It’s nice to know there’s somewhere reliable to go whether it’s a catch up with girlfriends or morning tea with the kids. Will always support this business as the level of service is exceptional.

I loved having a coffee or smoothie at this place and I was shocked to find you gone today. It was a lovely quiet spot to have a break. This place got me through lockdowns. Goodbye and good luck to you all.
