Michael and the team are efficient and meticulous with their car wash services. My car always looks very shiny and immaculately clean each and every time. Highly recommend them.

I have been coming here for approx 2-3 years. I love my strong coffees however lately they have been inconsistent. Even though I ask for a strong skinny latte (and often repeat it so the wait staff take it down correctly) I have had to return my coffee as it was weak, hot and or had hardly any crema. What makes it worse is the wait staff give you attitude- as if you shouldnt be questioning the coffee you get. When I have ordered take away coffee it was very slow- seems like all other dine- in orders had to be cleared first- the whole idea of take away is because your passing through or dont have time to dine it etc. I also feel some meals are pricey for what you get. I hope the owners take note of this and focus more on customer service as it is a nice cafe and overall cosey ambienc. I think they have become complacent of late and at times, they act as if they are doing you are a favour serving you.

I recently went to T & A as I finally got to use a voucher I had. From the moment you walk in you instantly get the feeling you will be well looked after. The owner, Shantelle has definetely considered all aspects to ensure the client enjoys the entire experience. Even though I had a good deal with the voucher, Shantelle did not rush through the treatments or service as some places sometime do. She is very knowledgeable and experienced with her products and services offered. I definetely recommend this beauty centre.

I went with a friend as we had a cudo voucher. What a pleasant surprise- it was the best ever pork belly I have had- so tender and so tasty! we even compliment the chef- and the presentation was excellent , and the desserts just divine.

I was staying in the area on a weeknight (Monday night) and started driving around looking for a place that would be open, especially in winter. I drove past this place and did a u turn as it was one of the only few places open. As soon as I walked in I was pleasantly surprised that it was busy and I was lucky to find the last table! The food was delicous and cosy with the fireplace on. On the way to melbourne the next day I had the most tastiest lemonade scones and great coffee. The girl even brought me the latest magazines and newspaper- great service too. Looking forward to going back again- blink and miss it- but worth doing a u turn and going back again :)..Ps expect cosy rooms in what was previously an old historic bank.

A very busy- ex-garage converted into a cafe place which suits the area. Its very spacious and always busy when I have been. I 've only ordered a coffee a few times I have been. Today I had a strong skinny latte with banana bread - which was a cute mini loaf. The coffee was great however the banana bread was dry and with no condiment, so it crumbled :(. I think it needed something to compliment it.

This is one of my favourite cafes. The food is great, generous serves and very reasonably priced. I like a strong, full bodied and flavoured coffee- but not hot and bitter. This cafe rarely disappoints! Service is very efficient and friendly :)

Approximate cost: $12-15

I am a local and vote this the best cafe providing the best coffee in the area. I like my coffee strong ,with full body but not leaving a bitter after taste or served too hot. I come here several times a week either dine in or take away as I am confident to receive consistent quality coffee and food. The new owners are very friendly and happy to accomodate any tastes/preferences. Try the chicken and avocado - i request it on gourmet multigrain bread - substantial serving size and so yum!

Approximate cost: $10-15
