A true local gem! The Holla Eggs Benedict with Pulled Pork is delicious — perfectly poached eggs, tender pork, and great presentation. Friendly staff, amazing service, and fresh, vibrant food make this café a must-visit

Very busy on the weekend. Staff was very friendly and flat out. Tried their fritters and it was nice! The only thing was it wasnt big portion. It was a bit noisy.

Visited here for the first time this morning and had such a great experience. The two gentlemen serving me were so lovely and had such good attention to detail. They provided separate kids cup, cutlery and plate without even having to ask and even walked over with a fresh napkin when my son accidentally knocked his off. Loved how they still come to you to order too :) Highly recommend!!!

I met with 2 friends for brunch this morning, a Sunday. I was 45mins late, my family & I have been having a really tough few years. The past week has been particularly stressful so I was going to pull out of the catch up, but I needed to see these beautiful & supportive friends. I arrived feeling sad & emotional. The man (Billy) who came & took my order was just so lovely. He could see I was emotional, he went out of his way to make me feel welcome & supported. Maintaining eye contact, with kind eyes. He was a joy with his banter. We all found him a joy to talk to. The man who brought out our meals (Brendan) was great. All staff were lovely. After my friends headed to the counter, I was collecting my bag & Billy came over to see if I needed anything. Thank you Billy. The food & coffee was delicious. I thorougly enjoyed my whole experience, along with my friends company, & I left with high spirits. I will come again & recommend this cafe to everyone I know. Rated 10/10.

This is not fancy, but it’s good! Breakfast muffin stuffed with bacon, cheese and a well cooked egg was exactly what I wanted. Nothing wrong with coffee either!

Popular cafe located at Ringwood Square. Friendly, hospitable service, food dishes arrived quickly despite the cafe being busy. Food was delicious and well presented and menu had a huge variety of options- including for vegetarians, and gluten free diners. Definitely book a table- especially on weekends. I was pleased to see padded seating since I last dined here. Big thumbs up!
