I've been meaning to drop in here for awhile now. The old guy is always so friendly when I walk past. I ordered a long black and big breakfast. Coffee and breakfast was good. It was a little dearer than other places but it has much better ingredients. Eggs were perfect and the mushrooms tasted great.

Stopped in for breakfast the other day. Had the bacon and eggs and it was well priced and tasty. Coffee was good (had 2) and the staff super friendly. We will be back! Huge range of tea in this place as well as a solid menu for breakfast or lunch. Inside and outside tables.

We have been coming here for years as the food is consistently good with quality ingredients and the service is friendly. They have a good range of dishes all of which we have tried and enjoyed. Additionally, they make the best ham/chicken salad sandwiches, toasted sandwiches, iced coffee and milkshakes on the coast.

Located at the top of Bulcock beach sits this quaint little cafe. We arrived for brunch and had a lovely performance alongside it (busker at the markets). Fast service, large portions, fresh ingredients, warm food when given.

A great spot for breakfast this morning. Good music atmosphere, friendly staff and great food & coffee. We enjoyed French toast with lots of fresh fruit and an omelette of cheese & veggies. Large serving of more than I could eat.
