Lovely cafe with yummy & Instagramable food options and wonderful service from the team. We came on a busy Sunday morning (after the PH) and the team did a fabulous job. The wagyu burger was very satisfying and tasted wonderful from the cheese, fresh salad, beef patty, buns & yummy sauce. Our little girls shared the waffles with ice cream and hubby had the bacon & egg roll. Lovely chilled atmosphere amidst a very busy weekend with a full house. Keep up the great works guys and thanks for looking after our family.
