It's been awhile since I reviewed this place so thought I'd do an update.
My friend and I still visit here for our catch up dinners but it's now every month rather than every 2, as we just can't find anywhere else that's as good! They have also introduced a rewards card, so you get points on everything you buy. These can be exchanged for free coffee, pasta, pizza and if you get enough, a complete dinner for 2 with wine. It might take awhile to get the points but we come here anyway and enjoy the food, so no hardship at all. Love this place!

Took a break and enjoyed a coffee while going over some work notes, the aroma of the pizzas was driving me crazy, so I will be trying one next time I am here, didn't have time this visit.

This has now become my friends and my catch up place, every month. I always order a pizza with the lot, which is the best I have ever eaten. I have personally told the female pizza maker, that she makes the very best pizza's ever and I can't find any other place that does them as good. She has spoilt me good and proper, lol. Considering I live an hour away, it's too far to travel for take away too often. Guess that makes our visits there, all the more sweet!! I love the feel of the place too and with a choice of indoor or outdoor seating, it really is the place to meet up with friends and chat over their beautiful coffee. Highly recommend!! (The waiter that I had a "bad encounter" with last year, is no longer there and everyone else I've encountered has been really friendly).

This is a very nicely decorated, quite stylish cafe with plent of seating. They have an extensive menu consisting of pizza, pasta, seafood and also vegetarian dishes. The staff were attentive, our meals arrived promptly. The garlic bread and share plate for starters was perfect for us. Salt & pepper calamari, steak, salmon and chilli chicken were our chosen dishes and all of them were spectacular. Unfortunately, we did not allow any room for dessert, will make sure next time.

Comfortable setting with good service. Able to sit outside, with umbrella's for shade, if you wish.
My friend and I went there for dinner just before Christmas (2014) and we both had the Penne Alla Panna ($18 a main meal) - Ham and mushrooms, in a rich, cream sauce. Also ordered a supreme pizza, which had the perfect crisp crust - not too thin or too thick: $20 for a 12". Only managed to eat 2 slices, as the pasta was a very generous serve!!
They were also happy to box up the leftovers for us to take home.
We finished the meal with a beautiful cup of coffee - Perfect!

The only criticism would be the man who took our order - he wasn't very pleasant. When I asked if they had a 'coffee & cake' deal, he said very nastily ... "we have coffee and we have cake but no deals". Plain Rude!
All in all though, a good night - Rate at 8/10. Would definitely return!

It is a nice cafe - you were just unlucky with the waiter

I really like this cafe, he must have been having a bad day, well I hope so, it wouldn't be very good if he was like this with all his customers. Fortunately, i have not encountered him.

Enjoyed a quick lunch here which was a ham and cheese croissant. Very nice and so was the coffee. Nice large seating area both inside and outside which is well serviced. Friendly staff too. Try it when in the area. Good italian menu is available to eat in or take away

This cafe is in close proximity to a friends house, so whenever we stay over we usually go here for breakfast the following day. Breakfast here is always perfect as well as the coffee and the staff always have a friendly smile and are very prompt with their service.

Had breakfast here with my girlfriend after staying over at a friends place. Massive menu, breakfast, lunch and dinner. I had the Bacon and Egg Burger and my girlfriend tried the Italian Omelette. Really enjoyed our breakfast with a nice cup of coffee, very reasonable prices. The dinner menu looks fabulous, so we will be returning. Found the staff to be very attentive, fast service and quality food. Will definitely be returning.

Approximate cost: $12
