5 Great place to eat! Well priced, amazing food, large portions, and friendly, welcoming staff. I visit regularly and always leave satisfied.
5 Passing through on our trip south and found this little abode. Absolutely fantastic customer service. Both for the vax and unvax. No questions asked either which is what people want. Can’t speak highly enough of the lady and man that served us either. So polite and full of smiles ( from what I could gather behind the mask)
5 Friendly staff... great views of the street life. Nice food and social atmosphere :-) Thanks Jolt!
5 Easily the best coffee in CQ! The staff are always so bubbly and friendly and they put on a delicious brekkie at a really competitive price. The display fridge is also fully stocked with the most delicious assortments of sweets. Always a favourite Cafe for us to pop in to.
5 Early-bird breakfast ($12) shown below was delicious, as was the coffee and OJ. Great cafe and bakery run by helpful and friendly staff. Highly recommended.
4 This cafe is in a beautiful old building which straight away adds to the atmosphere. There is plenty of seating inside and out. It felt comfortable enough to take my time and not feel rushed to move on. The staff seemed nice. The prices are good and they have a toast, bacon, sausage and eggs breakfast for under $7 which I think is terrific. But not all the meals are this cheap. I think it is always important to cater for all budgets. The food was good no issues. On one visit I had a white hot chocolate with my meal and it was one of the nicest I have tasted.
Many guests recommend the waffles and the Early Birds Breaky for a tasty start to the day.
