Besides making the tastiest side salad to the wraps, the hot chocolate is next level. It was so creamy and chocolatey and it's made from the real chocolate next door. Thank you from us

Do yourself a favour and stop off here for brunch or lunch after getting off the Bruny Island Ferry, which is exactly what I did! Staff were friendly and attentive, food and drink were both really good and very well priced and a lovely area to sit and regroup before venturing home or onto your next destination. My ham & cheese croissant and chai latte were both exceptional ⭐ thankyou !

What a beautiful spot and lovely cafe! Staff and owner were just wonderful and the coffee was excellent. So was the caramel slice which wasn’t too sweet! Do yourselves a favour and drop in for a cuppa and a friendly chat!

A cute little cafe in Kettering. We came here twice to pick up sandwiches, which are amazing! They have excellent coffee and great service. You must pass by if you are in the area or planning to go to Bruny Island.

Wonderful lunch, variety of drinks all just exactly as requested in good sized mugs for that extra taste. I had the Lamb and Rosemary Filo with a scrumptious salad and chutney. Today's selection was varied, fresh and simply yummy

Stopped by to grab a quick breakfast and was surprised by their Muffin and Toastie. The Muffin has a crispy exterior with some berries jam well mixed inside and it was not too sweet. The Toastie paired with Flat White is a good deal too.

Cute little coffee shop we were lucky to stop for breaky before heading to Bruny Island. Amazing service, food & coffee. Would definitely go back if we had more time in Hobart!

The food was absolutely gorgeous and very well priced. We had a Scrambled Egg, Mushroom and Spiced Bean sauce/salsa Toasted Wrap each, which came with a side of Salad Greens. It was healthy, filling, and seriously the best meal we've had since moving to Tassie just over a year ago. Totally worth every cent. My pot of tea was piping hot, and brewed to exactly how I like it (loose leaf - not teabags). They had 100% fruit juices as well for my daughter. Being Vegetarian, its really nice to find cafes that cater for you. There were other Vegetarian options as well. The service was exceptionally fast, and the staff were lovely and friendly. We sat outside and enjoyed the Winter sun. Will definitely be returning for sure.
