    My son, granddaughter and I enjoyed another serve of the best scones jam and cream. We all had a milkshake each (malt in my blue heaven) The food is always delicious, competitive pricing and lovely atmosphere

    A++ for being able to manage online bookings and not have any issues with seating plans here as the team is competent to handle volume of guests that they got today. Not many other places do it so well. 10/10 for the guest experience and being genuine whilst doing so. Extra special shout out to our server who helped us with a small task and merrily did a bow to congratulate herself haha. You absolutely killed it today. You all did :) From the amount of cafés I go to serving size is just right for what you're paying for and food was exquisite. Thank you BOH!

    Had a very relaxing and pleasant lunch for 2. Owner was welcoming and attentive, as always since I started dining here several years ago. Food is always good and the servings generous. Cockatoos made up the unique ambience of the place. Looking forward to go back again.
