BEST CAFE IN THE NT !!! Second to none ! 2 weeks on the road cafes everyday all over NT, food next level, lots of vegetarian options for partner and daughter! Coffee top shelf (yes I’m a full blown coffee snob ). Prices very modest and even more so because of the quality. Thank you for a lovely breakfast and coffee !!!

Very cosy place to sit outside between some plants! I ordered a gluten free brownie and a mocha, both were good quality! The mocha was nice and strong as well.

Delicious coffee (best in town) and great selection of options across the menu and fresh wraps/sandwiches as well as sweets/cakes all made by the Cafe. They also offer great specials throughout the week, definitely give it a try. The chicken tacos on Tuesday are my favourite and the burger and chips on Thursday is also very good. Enjoy the peace and serenity sitting outside.

I had the crispy bacon benny which was a nice big serve, poached eggs done perfectly, sauce not overwhelming and very tasty. Loaded croissant had a healthy serving of bacon, fried egg with a bit of run and nice flakey croissant. Downed with make-your-own juices and good quality coffee. Definitely recommend for your breakfast needs
