What a little gem of a Cafe! Scrumptious homestyle food. We had the quiche of the day (perfection), lovely side salad with old-fashioned potato salad, fresh greens and tomatoes. Highly recommend!

What a fantastic place. I have breakfast there once a fortnight. As soon as I walk in the door, my order is started and they go out of the way to make it as I like it. The food is very ummy.You have to be careful of the calories. Please give it ago, you won't be disappointed.

The coffee here is the best I've had anywhere. The barrister obviously knows their craft. Flavoursome and smooth. Friendly service and both indoor and outdoor seating.

What an outstanding find! We ordered four bacon and egg rolls and four coffees and they were absolutely the best! Beautiful food, outstanding ambience and wonderful service! Do yourself a favour and pay them a visit when you're next in Tamworth!

This place is a hidden gem, not sure for how long though. Delicious baked goods and friendly service. Their carrot cake is top notch and the coffee is great. Definitely 5 stars from me and will be back to try their savoury options and carrot cake (for seconds).
