"This place is a hidden gem. I found it as it was one of very few cafes open on new years morning. They have a really good special for $12 you get a big brekkie and a small coffee, soft drink or water. I was extra hungry so added some add ons to my meal (avo, baked beans, hash browns, hollandaise) and a banana and berrie smoothie (this smoothie was the best I have had in a long time!!) all this including the smoothie and meal for $30. Really good value for money. Katie and the team are all really lovely too. Thank you, I’ll be back."
