Found this cafe as a middle point for a family brunch, and we were so so happy with it! Food was amazing, the variety and standard of the food was so good. I am also Gluten Free and there were so many options for me to choose from. The service from the staff was exceptional as well. Only down side is it does get a little loud. We will definitely be coming back!

great space for lunch on the outside of Chaddy shopping centre, easy parking across the road. Great friendly staff and really nice ambiance to the restaurant. Food was amazing and different, maybe just a few favorites could be added, but it was a lovely lunch time spent, thanks to all the staff who even thru the Chaddy blackout kept us well informed and smiling throughout.
