A uniquely themed cafe that serves simple but heavenly tasty food. Glad that we chose to have lunch at this little gem during our recent cycling trip at Heyfield.

Best waiter I’ve had in a long time, a large group of 14 of us ordered 30 brownies with extra cream and she ran back and forth to fill our greedy wishes with a bit of extra x mas love. #santacameearlly

Great service. Coffee is really good. The sausage roll was best I've had in a long time. The relish is the best accompanying condiment. Definitely going back

We stayed at the lovely Hatfield RV park the night before and came here to have some food and coffee. Very friendly lady who served us, she told us about the sambar deer and showed us some photos. Didn't get the chance to ask her name as the cafe suddenly got busy :) We enjoyed our coffee and chicken avocado panini, also loved the cafe decor!
