There is something seriously special about their croissants. My partner and I ate them every chance we could and even tried to get some to take back with us after our stay in Armidale. Sadly, they are only made in small batches in store every morning and we left with only one extra. We also tried their blueberry pancakes which were delicious. Their coffees are great and the ladies there took great care of us and our pup. I highly recommend anyone to stop over at this little cafe if given the opportunity.

My partner and I have just had a taste test of some of the new cakes and tarts and to say we were blown away is an absolute understatement. Do yourself a favour and try the caramel tart or passionfruit meringue. You will not be disappointed. Thank you to Dave and the team, we will be back in no time.

Lovely place. Quite quaint and small but does a wonderful job food was great and well made. I had a Russian coffee which is quite different from the regular Aussie stuff and was pleasantly surprised. Creamy and delicious.

Best breaky! Eggs and mushrooms on toast was AMAZING! Kids loved the pancakes and they have the best milkshakes and smoothies in town. Amazing value for money, and the staff are amazing and we will definitely be back regularly!
