Very friendly staff and taking into account that the food is cooked fresh and the menu so large I found it good.
Love the funky little bottles they use as table numbers.
I ordered a Deliciously Wicked Chocolate and my partner had a fruit smoothie in a cool glass. we were all happy with what we had to eat

Approximate cost: $11

I've had coffee here once, and went back again to have lunch with friends.
The coffee was OK, nothing outstanding.
For lunch I had the potato skins, which were again OK, nothing offensive but nothing memorable either.
The things that stood out the most were all the irritating details - it's really noisy, lots of clattery and echoey noise that made it hard to have a conversation over lunch.
Instead of order numbers on a stick like other cafés, they have playing cards in glass jars - when you're juggling a handbag and three shopping bags & trying to put your change & purse away, it's just one more thing to try and carry to your table, rather than just being able to hook one finger around the usual stick. They also take up more space on the table, and they don't bother to clear them when they bring your order, so by the time we'd had lunch & ordered coffee afterwards, we had three people and all our lunch dishes & coffee cups and these annoying glass jars all crowded on the table - it was just really irritating.
The menus are A5 size laminated pages all together on a ring - you see something you might like, then have to flip back through multiple pages trying to find it again. I'm sure they think the menus & the playing cards in jars are cute and quirky, but they're just annoying and irritating, and enough to make me go elsewhere next time.
The service was OK, average wait time, no real problems, friendly enough.
Overall, the annoyances far outweighed the less the outstanding food, and I wouldn't go back again.
