Food was good, coffee was good and understandably the lady forgot my extra avocado as it was pretty busy at 9.30 There is a nice sitting on the side away from the petrol station.

Lovely place that was open at 7, so we could get on the road. The breakfast quiche and coffee was great. We bought a caramel bar for the road which was the best for our beach day!

+ PROS, - CONS and • Information + Lots of indoor and outdoor seating area in shade and sun to suit your preferences + The staff was absolutely lovely and gave me some recommendations on what to do in the area + Food and coffee arrived fast! ⏳ - If sitting outside you are close to the main road and across from a Gull petrol station which impacts the atmosphere a bit. • Lovely mocha coffee for $7. It wasn't as strong as I would have liked but came in a big cup. • I also had the Salmon and cream cheese quiche which I very much enjoyed. Portion size was okay. • There is one clean and tidy costumer bathroom
