The standout feature was the incredibly friendly staff, who were courteous and attentive throughout our visit—definitely among the best service we've experienced in New South Wales. We will definitely return on our next visit. Hopefully, the road closures to Kangaroo Valley will be resolved soon so that local businesses aren’t too negatively impacted.

Before we knew it, our food arrived, and wow! The croissant was the most captivating, crispy, and airy one I’ve ever tasted. The Loral special was a perfect presentation on the plate, fresh and crisp with just the right balance of salt and pepper. The French toast was made with thick brioche, soaked in egg batter, and paired with speck, maple syrup, and banana—it was an incredible combination! We also ordered a speck and egg roll, but chose to omit the mayonnaise and BBQ sauce, and it was still delicious with a lovely soft and fresh flavor. This café is a must-visit for anyone in and around Kangaroo Valley, but just make sure to arrive on time—otherwise, you might miss out!

Didn't have almond milk as an option for coffees which was strange. Service was friendly and fast. Food was fresh and tasty. There is a 12% surcharge on weekends. So it made $35 each for breakfast. Nice local vibe and good selection of food. Great local produce and bread inside. Pastry cabinet was amazing. Best option on the main street.

Whatever she was thinking is clearly not expected from her role. Menu had literally five options for both breakfast and lunch. But the worst part is the 13% increase for the whole weekend, which I have never seen across Australia over 4 years ! It is usually on Sundays only and 10%. Needless to say we ended up at one of their competitors, who were both friendlier, cheaper (no increase on Saturdays) and served more options. Just avoid this cafe. Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
