Description

Nestled beneath sakura trees in Geraldine, this charming, reasonably priced café is a garden hideaway serving fresh, beautifully presented meals—from standout salmon specials and a legendary BLT to all-day breakfast, salads, scones and rhubarb pie. Coffee is generally praised (with occasional notes about foam or temperature) and smoothies are light and refreshing. Service is warm and attentive; outdoor seating in a flowered courtyard makes it perfect for sunny lunches. Check the blackboard specials; it’s the kind of local gem you’ll return to.

The Verde Specials, especially the High Country salmon and Beef Bourguignon, are absolutely delicious. Their flat white coffee is the best I've had to date.

This is a fantastic little spot for lunch! It's a bit hidden away, but the charming garden with Japanese cherry trees provides a beautiful setting to enjoy your meal.

Popped in for breakfast and enjoyed fantastic food, delightful service and great coffee. The mushrooms, haloumi and tomato relish were particularly excellent. Highly recommended.
