    My son, granddaughter and I enjoyed another serve of the best scones jam and cream. We all had a milkshake each (malt in my blue heaven) The food is always delicious, competitive pricing and lovely atmosphere

    A++ for being able to manage online bookings and not have any issues with seating plans here as the team is competent to handle volume of guests that they got today. Not many other places do it so well. 10/10 for the guest experience and being genuine whilst doing so. Extra special shout out to our server who helped us with a small task and merrily did a bow to congratulate herself haha. You absolutely killed it today. You all did :) From the amount of cafés I go to serving size is just right for what you're paying for and food was exquisite. Thank you BOH!

    Had a very relaxing and pleasant lunch for 2. Owner was welcoming and attentive, as always since I started dining here several years ago. Food is always good and the servings generous. Cockatoos made up the unique ambience of the place. Looking forward to go back again.

    Very friendly and helpful team of staff. The food and drinks were good value. The scones delicious and I was even offered to take my uneaten scone home and provided with little tubs of cream and jam :) We had a window table at the back looking on to a beautiful gallery of cockatoos in the trees. Overall very nice. Parking if any mobility issues is challenging (but that’s consistent with a lot of parking in this area)

    Loved the food but were a little bit squished for a table of five. Loved the setting, staff were amazing and the food was delicious. The gluten free scones were the best we ever tasted, and we were asked if we were coeliac, massive thumbs up for that alone. Grandad loved his fritters, the burger was a massive hit for hubby and the chai, cannot praise enough!
