That being said, it is of a high standard in cuisine, and clearly very popular, with many tables full every time I have been there. I have two criticisms. Firstly, there are no small options on the menu. All the meals I have had have been huge servings. I guess there's more profit in big. I spoke to the manager about this.Secondly, the cheap furniture is tired, damaged and needs to be replaced. The car wash is getting sloppy too. I started travelling down from the Upper Hunter for the car wash and cafe, but no longer.

The breakfast was huge, hot and very very tasty.The coffee was strong and hot, just like we ordered.The bonus is the car was washed while we ate...just wonderful (the car wash is a separate entity to the cafe but forms the same complex)Well worth a stop for breakfast..one of the better ones we have been to.

While most cafes in Newcastle charge in the high teens for breakfast, this place is priced lower, which is above average. The Moroccan eggs I ordered lacked flavor and character, and the coffee was average. The staff, however, were friendly and cheerful.

Our food went to the wrong table but it was fresh and huge servings. Cost for two hot beverages and two breakfast meals. I...found it expensive for a breakfast menu, however the food was excellent, staff service average.
