First of all parking is an issue on Buderim on Saturday morning. However, it was worth it. The wait for breakfast was minimal and well presented and delicious. The coffee could be warmer, however the flat white was just that with minimal froth and was excellent. The young staff are a fine example of what service should be. Well done.

I had a chicken and lamb yiro which was delicious. Ample filling and very appetising. The petite dessert was extra special as I love chocolate torte and baklava so could have both without having to make a decision. The only disappointment was the coffee. It wasn’t served very hot and maybe it was the coffee blend but it didn’t taste quite right. Service was excellent especially as the restaurant was busy with Christmas parties. Staff were also great. 9/10 overall.
