Called in this afternoon, New Year’s Eve, for lunch. The best hamburger with the lot, even beat the Woodenbong one, and the Halloumi on Turkish bread was to die for. Hats off to the chef. It did not end there, awesome, efficient and friendly service. 10 out of 10. This café was hidden away in a corner opposite the Thirsty Camel bottle shop. Do yourself a favour, check out this café and enjoy some yummy food.

Awesome food with heaps of variety. The staff and the owners are just lovely people . They open at 6am, ( not sure if thats their trading time), which is a bonus. Their vanilla milkshake and council burger is my all time favourite. Would highly recommend.
