One would not even know this little place exists just of a main road, hidden around the side of a small shopping centre/village. Great staff who are friendly and remember their regulars. Did not eat anything this time but there was a good selection of food that looked delectable and yummy. The coffee is as a good a cuppa as the best on the Coast. I shall return many more times.
