This peaceful little Cafe has in my opinion the biggest food in Iluka. Servings are generous, the food fresh, the coffee great and the service friendly. It's pet friendly too and caters for food intolerances.

Wonderful food- I fear that I’ll never have another spinach and feta Danish to rival the one here! Lovely staff, and a great atmosphere

The best spinach and feta danish I’ve had. The caramel muffin had a lovely crunchy top. Plants all around for a peaceful atmosphere.

What a lovely spot for breakfast and a coffee.Very friendly staff, quiet, a great atmosphere.It was very refreshing to have Sourdough Toast with a drizzle of olive oil rather than being smothered with butter - truly eggs my way.Highly recommended.
