Food was fresh and delicious. We got a coffee, chips, steak sandwich, hot dog and chicken burger. Everything was great! Lovely staff and a quiet relaxed atmosphere. Not busy so we got our food and a table quickly. Definitely recommend stopping here.

We stopped in here to try something different for breakfast and I'm glad we did. Food was lovely and hot. The prices are reasonable and not over priced. We just got the big breakfast and scrambled eggs. We will definitely stop in here more often.

Lovely little cafe in Pt Wakefield. I ordered chilli (chicken) tenders and chips with gravy and they were great. Nice neat cafe with lots of options. Toilets out the back were clean and well maintained.

Just popped in for a take-away coffee. Very friendly staff. Loved having a chat while waiting for my coffee. The bakery has a great country and welcoming feel. Plenty of baked varieties. Definitely be back to try some pastries..

Great cafe and really friendly staff. Coffee hot and tasty, good old fashioned fried breakfast, toast and Vegemite. The home made vanilla slice was the best I’ve had. Take cash - eftpos was down and this happens often. Plenty of space for caravan parking - drive past the cafe entrance and turn left - you can exit at the rear.

Bacon and egg sandwich was delicious! Was really impressed with the amount of bacon, there were at least 6 pieces. Also they were able to do gluten free which is hard to find in smaller towns. The service was great. Would recommend!
