Nice cafe in this tiny town - great spot to stop for lunch on the Adelaide-Melbourne route. Homemade chicken pie was delicious, toasted sandwiches are great, and the coffee was really good.

Massive lunch - very generous, the food is really good, the best peri peri chicken burger I had since moving to Australia. Good piece of chicken in Panko crumbled; the nachos were a delish too. The sweet potato chips are a must try - they taste fresh It’s quite hot so my husband had a beer (Mismatch & Pirate life) which he loved and being a tea lover I had an earl-grey. The cafe is very clean, with friendly staffs.

I really don't understand why this place is not full of customers. The food is delicious, and the service is very good. It might be considered expensive for some people. My churn fritters were surprisingly tasty. It was a large serve. The accompanying salad was very fresh and had a delightful dressing. Eggs were cooked to order. Coffee was very good, too.

Best vegan breakfast! There was nothing vegan on the menu but the place had a nice vibe and the chef happily created a delicious vegan breakfast for me with beans, spinach, mushrooms, tomatoe, hash brown and sour dough toast. Great coffee too. Highly recommend
