Friendly staff, reasonably priced, delicious food. I had the smashed ago which came with whipped goats cheese which really made the dish one notch higher than the rest. Freshly squeezed juice was also great. Coffee was smooth, hot and well priced. Would come here again.

Amazing customer service, very friendly and inviting. I had a carmel latte and french toast and it tasted so good. Very happy customer here.

What a great cafe. They were super busy on a Sunday morning and handled all the orders professionally, promptly and with a smile. There was a long wait for coffee—the machine didn’t stop the whole time we were here. After we had our first coffee, we knew why: it’s excellent. The meals are healthy, tasty and there’s a lot of variety. Something for everyone.

Really good brekkie spot with reasonable prices! Am an Indian who eats chicken only and its been a bit hard to find chicken dishes which suit my taste preferences, which is totally on me. I had the grilled chicken panini with two scoops of frosted mango ice cream. The panini was so good with all the ingredients coming together to build up joy on your taste buds! The bread of the panini was really soft and maintained that softness even after it went cold as I had it take-out. The mango ice-cream was excellent and tasted just like the juicy suck-n-drink mangoes during summers in my motherland, Kerala. Reminded me of home :) Really nice Ambience and service too. I got my food within just a couple of minutes. Satisfied to the core!

Great spot for coffee and brekky. Friendly staff, and timely service even when busy. Their large is a bucket (4 shots). Fantastic tasting big brekky (especially home made baked beans) and bruschetta (with halloumi and chorizo!). Highly recommend when in Townsville

Cute little gem whack bam in the centre of Flinders. Dirt cheap if you're looking to save $$$. I don't know how they're paying their overheads, coz it is that cheap. Had a craving for a sweet brekkie so decided on waffles with a long black. Coffee was good. Waffles were yum. Was great sitting outside where I could prepare for an ultra busy day.
