Description

Nestled on SH1, this classic roadside cafe is a dependable stop for coffee, generous breakfasts and standout dishes—waffles, chicken sandwiches and eggs Benedict—served by largely warm, attentive staff. Accessibility is strong (wheelchair ramp and toilet) and there's ample off‑street parking plus dog‑friendly outdoor seating. Most visits deliver proper tea and excellent coffee, though occasional lapses in burger quality, seating cleanliness and sauce customization have been reported. Ideal for road trips, families and brunch crowds seeking hearty, no‑fuss fare.

The woman that served me was rather unpleasant. Hannah was amazing filling my iced coffee request to a high standard. I paid for my order n only received half not very happy with that. Had my family with me they got treated well but the lady that served us was glaring at me. Not sure if I had note on my back she certainly made me feel un welcome. If I treated my customers like that I certainly wouldn't have a job Food: 1
