I have tried every cafe around the area multiple times. This one wins. Lovely people running this place. They make sandwiches fresh every day. Even if the food wasn't nice and coffee fresh, I'd still go back for the lovely smiles and attitude. This is hospitality at its finest. A+

Full disclaimer, I haven't tasted food or coffee here BUT I think it's well worth checking out and I will try them because of few things I saw today... The place was very well presented and everything looked yummy and spotless clean, it's a family operated business and the owner and family seemed very kind and friendly and it's located right in Front of Woolies exit/entrance. Check out my pics

They are the nicest people and have the freshest sandwiches and great coffee too. I LOVE their egg sandwiches especially, but they’re all good. Very reasonably priced, couldn’t recommend it highly enough. The people are so lovely they deserve six stars!

I love this place for the lovely owners as much as the coffee. They treat you like family and are always happy to see you. Even when it’s busy, they are very efficient and I’ve never waited more than a couple of minutes after ordering to have my coffee ready. The husband makes amazing coffee

The elderly couple are very friendly. Tasty treats and very nice coffee. Great to sit here when the markets get crazy busy.
