The food was decent, with the standout being the relish.

After reading all the good reviews about their breakfasts we choose this place based on the Trip Advisor ratings and comments. Very little choice and only one toasted sandwich choice was available. Unlike...most cafes they won’t make you up a fresh one . The cheese and ham sandwich was wafer thin and I couldn’t believe my eyes when this was served up. You could hardly call it an attempt for a toasted sandwich- appalling! After finishing our coffee we walked down the street and bought a sausage from the Lyons people as we we still hungry. Breakfast- don’t bother try one of the other cafes or drive out to Great Western where we found an exceptional breakfast/lunch cafe 5/5 for this place.
