The coffee is really nice but the let down is the price especially when we have to dry the table and chairs outside with paper towels ourselves … couldn’t they be dried off before customers appear?

I love this little cafe just outside the Bendigo CBD. It has a homey feel with different rooms, some with tables and chairs and some with comfy armchairs. We love the room that feels like you are in someone's lounge room, where you can exchange books and play with a toy or two. There is also shaded outdoor seating.

The sweets menu is delicious and extensive, while the lunch and breakfast menu are limited but equally divine. We love the pasta.

My sons love the giant pythons and the milkshakes. Blue heaven! The coffee is good if not great and the service is always with a smile.

A hidden gem slightly off the beaten track.
