Absolutely stunning food! The coffee is amazing, and the service was fast, friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend eating here! Had two more meals today, and they are first class! Don't walk past without calling in for a meal, you will be totally satisfied!

Cannot praise this place enough. Staff are friendly and approachable, the food is beyond excellent. I nearly always have a roast for lunch and I havent found better in the broader area (including Casterton). The atmosphere is quiet and friendly, I have never witnessed any customer or employee naffness. People smile at each other and hold the door for you. Its just a lovely place with great food and good variety. Easily 10/10 .. maybe 15/10 :)

Five stars for a fantastic breakfast of unique scrambled eggs with mushrooms and tomatoe. Service was great and other house made menu items looked scrumptious. The cafe itself was very clean and looks like it may be a work in progress of continuous improvements.

Genuine country town cafe that's popular with the locals and has a good range of home made style food (Cod Pie was on the menu the other day). Coffee was pretty good and service prompt. Very popular with the older folks in town.

Great Cafe food - well priced. Enjoyed a schnitzel and a bowl of nachos. Both were delicious, full of flavour, and the salad was fresh and substantial. Would recommend for brunch or lunch.

Good Cafe. Good food. They make cooked takeaway meals as well as eat in. They catered for a local community event and provided food much appreciated by all. As I eat a plant based diet I was most impressed that they made delicious food in that category also for that event. Staff are also friendly and pleasant.
