Tucked away almost out of sight in Bell Block, but we'll worth discovering, if my coffee is any guide. That's all I bought, but on a quiet Saturday morning it was humming, with steady stream of customers, some clearly well known regulars. The coffee was excellent. Well extracted and milk perfectly stretched, and temperature just right. The cabinet food looks excellent, but I was only looking for a coffee. Next time I'll arrive not having just had breakfast!

Loved every minute of our brief visit. Certainly warmer in here than outside on a windy July day! Keep up your good work

Smoked salmon cheese cream pie was fabulous, I have been looking for a good pie for myself, so I found it. Mocha was smooth, silky, best cafe in Bell Block.

Once in a while I get surprised. Here is this little café in the middle of a group of shops, nothing much to speak of. I was just using the laundromat and had 30 minutes to use. The coffee (I had two), was very drinkable, it ticked all the right boxes. The home made pies (again I had two, I had to dry my clothes too), were great. Seriously, two of THE BEST pies I've had from a café. The steak was "pulled steak", no fat, nothing but meat. If your wanting 5 star luxury go elsewhere, it's a café, if you're wanting value for money and a good pie and coffee, this is your place.
