We stopped in for breakfast, I had the Juju’s smashed avo on toast (on gluten free bread). It was delicious and completely different to a regular avocado on toast. The shop itself was really cute with all kinds of little knickknacks inside and the service was great

I could not get enough of the campfire bean wrap with French scrambled egg, spinach, bacon, and beans! So I had breakfast here twice and ordered it again with chai tea, which was perfect.

The coffee and Monte Carlo biscuits were amazing. The biscuits in particular were super delicious. Highly recommended for a sugary pit stop.

Absolutely gorgeous place if you love to be surrounded by old world charm and eclectic nostalgia. The food was delicious and the young girl serving was an absolute delight. The wares for sale are definitely overpriced but I definitely would recommend going for the food and atmosphere.

I love the variety of inside and outside sitting tables, nooks and crannies. Beautiful outside area with well tended garden. Coffee was excellent.

Great little café with tables and chairs dotted through the retail shop. Coffee was great. Service was very relaxed and inviting. Food was well presented and large portions... value for money

Quaint shop filled with antiques, bric a bracket, clothing and hats. Outside tables on footpath, indoor tables and more table oit to the side. Bathroom available too. Always a bonus. Stopped for breakfast. Had the home-made raisin toast which was very good and the egg and bacon roll with coffees. I liked everything about it, would more than likely spent a bit more if the server was a little pleasant. Hopefully she's just having a bad day. I'd stop in again if passing through.
