Great coffee and atmosphere. Just popped in first time. On way to Tin Can. A small side track. But worth it. Very friendly staff. General store has a great deal of verity. Coffee was great. Meat pie great. Very nice. Will be back again next time when in area. Probably stay at caravan park across the road too.

A lovely old school Cafe and ecclectic store. We had a delicious, well priced breakfast. There was a small group of locals enjoying a post yoga coffee with pikelets cream and jam. They bought us a free plate so we didn't miss out. Loved the kind, friendly staff.

Absolutely love the food from here!! Mostly homemade and is delicious every week when I go there. Generous serving size, and the staff/owners are always friendly. The groceries and things you can get from this store are astounding. I have had fish, pie, schnitzel and sandwiches at times. All are delicious!
