2 weeks agoMy sister and I arrived at 2:30 today as they are closing at 3 pm We just finished our late lunch and I was too full to have any drink or food. My sister ordered a coffee and a sweet pastry. The short Asian lady asked many time if I want to order anything. I told her that I just walked in with my sister and I am sharing the pastry with her. She said that I have to order, as this is a business place. I replied that I we can sit outside in the garder side. She said the garden is also a business place. I was feeling very upset as they put $ for everyone who walked into the door. Will not go there again.

8 years agoI took my family for breakfast at the cafe. It was very nice, chilled and friendly environment. Enjoyed our meals. The kids got pancakes which had candy floss on top. Reminded me of the Lorax 😁. Looked so cool and tastes delicious. We got the garden grill it was nice but I wasn't keen on the relish. Apart from that really enjoyed it here. I didn't shop for plants so price wise is for eating only.
