    A dog friendly cafe to visit. Friendly service & our choices of the corn fritters & BLT were both generous in serving & tasty as a mid week lunch.

    Go here. Lots of outdoor covered seating near the beach, so good all year round. Good coffee and a surprisingly large menu from the kitchen or cabinet. Nicely cooked chips and good pies too, which are things that many other places get wrong. Very good service. Local bird life can be a nuisance.

    Easy dine in. Super dog friendly. Their pies are yummy. We like the uniqueness of this cafe right next to the beach. You'll see a collection painted by the owner, tiny portraits of all the dogs have visited the cafe. So cool.

    Pie was alright. But, there was something about this place that did not feel right to me. When I arrived there for a lunch break, I ordered a steak pie for take away, which went alright. However, there was one waitress there that I had a weird feeling about. After I ate my pie, I saw something peculiar from the corner of my eye for less than a second. I continued walking after that. I think it was the waitress that I had a weird feeling about. She seemed to have stood there and glared at me. If that was the case, then it was like she had given me the impression that she was telling me to never return there, or else something bad would happen. Seemed like intimidation. Overall, the pie was alright, but the intimidation had given me peculiar feelings.

    Basic little cafe close to the beach. Sadly our poached egg was more like a boiled egg.

    Lovely cafe, good coffee. The birds got to my cake, but the staff was so kind to give me a brownie.

    Great little cafe in a nice location - decent portions of tasty unpretentious food at reasonable prices and friendly staff. What you see is what you get - and that’s all good. All positive here.

    Excellent pie and ginger slice. A very short stroll to eat on a shady bench beside narrow neck beach. Extremely peaceful spot during the week. Weekend may be a little less quiet however.

    Lovely spot, but the staff was not as friendly, maybe it's just one off

  • 4/5 Robyn G. 8 months ago on Google
    Just a quick place to stop really if you need a coffee or bite to eat. You can't see the beach.

    Great local cafe, love the triple-shot large cappuccinos! Pies are great, service is very quick and friendly. Nice little touch on Fathers Day this year - free coffees for dads!

    Lovely beach cafe. The cafe was very busy at 10am on a Sunday, waited quite a while to place an order but food didn't take that long to arrive. Food was great!

    A nice sunny spot right by the beach. Excellent home made pies: a great variety of flavors.

😠 Poor coffee, below average food, run-down outdoor area and confused, bizarre service where you are told you can't order from the counter, then watch everyone else do exactly that. Then you have to queue for an age to pay because they have one person trying to do 10 things at the counter, like cuttin...

👍👍 They provide good service! But I don’t really like my French toast with orero cookie in the middle. My friend ordered honey chicken and omelet are better than mine!

👍 Overall experience is still great, service is efficient and warm. Food is as tasty as expected aside from the overcooked over and easy egg on the Facts-Tree big breakfast. Ginger latte tasted fantastic... shall come back for other stuff.
