Sure the wait staff need a bit of training but to be honest we found the coffee very good and looking at the plates of breakfast going past makes us want to return.Nice to sit outside in the sun and watch the coming and goings of the market across the road.

I had pancakes which were raw in places which is unacceptable. Thankfully the fruit and yoghurt which accompanied them was very tasty. My partner had the "Brekkie Melt" which he described as uninspiring and something I could have made at home far cheaper. The staff are obviously backpackers which is great but they have little hospitality knowledge. I was asked how my meal was and I said the pancake was raw in places. It was taken away and scrapped into the bin with no mention to kitchen staff of my dissatisfaction. This is unsatisfactory in my opinion but I will not go back again so no need for me to worry.

Decor was average, quite old feeling not the classic 'rustic ' feel but just outdated interior... However, the food portions were massive for price, well cooked, and delicious! Hearty meals, very homely.The juices were room temperature, would have loved some ice but definitely freshly squeezed. Waitress struggled with English, but was very sweet and professional nonetheless.Would absolutely come again when in the area.
