    We had tea and scones and it was delightful, it was 3pm and the scones tasted like they’d just come out of the oven - heaven!

    Had afternoon tea and the scones were amazing. Service was spot on and even though it was extremely busy (Easter Saturday) the staff were fantastic - efficient, friendly and well organised. Looking forward to coming back to try the lunch menu.

    We did a last minute reservation for late lunch after the Kabloom flower festival. We glad that we did that as the cafe was packed with customers when we arrived. We were given a nice spot where we spotted a Cockatoo and noticed a feeding station for the birds which was very cool. The food were delicious and the scones were nice and soft.

    Have been a number of times. Staff were pleasant and courteous. Had big breakfast presented nicely but found the meal bland with little flavour and seasoning. My big bacon and egg breakfast cost $34.00. Desert and coffee is nice.
