A little gem located next to Aeroview Garden Centre on main highway into Thames township. Cafe has roomy indoors and a terraced deck area outside to sit on in summertime. Very friendly staff are there to help you select from either the blackboard menu or good choice of cabinet food. We ordered poached eggs on toast with bacon (approx $13) and buttermilk pancakes with fruit (16.50). My husband enjoyed his and my pancakes were the best Ive had. Delicious with good sized portions they came with an extra jug of warm syrup. Hung around the inside cafe walls is artwork for sale by local artists, all reasonably priced. So if you're looking for a fabulous cafe with good food and great service then I recommend stop here.

Sometimes quite busy and noisey indoors. Quiet outdoor eating area. Very pretty view. Execellent food. Very nice staff. Its my go-to stop for food when in the thames area. Excellent oversized coffee options.

Very well worth a visit. All of us were happy with the food we ordered. Obviously a family business as the sweetest little girl brought our food out. Would definitely go again.

When you are with a bus load of people, and stop for lunch, it's always a risk. But this place was so well organised it just was not funny. Service was great! Food was great and the coffee was even greater!

Nice food and good service. The public toilets needs a it of a makeover.
