Came here for a hot chocolate after a rough morning. The staff were so lovely and kind, the hot chocolate was delicious, and the muffin was perfect. They also make in-house marshmallow and it was amazing! Highly, highly recommend.

John is an excellent chef and he recently catered for a business event I had. Everything from the selections, to the communication and prompt delivery so everything was warm for when I served the food was spot on. Will return when I need catering again.

This little cafe has the best food and coffee around Honeysuckle at really decent prices. The owners always greet you with a smile. They genuinely care for their patrons. The chef is incredibly talented as well. Heaps of GF options as well, with both savoury and sweet options. I would give it 20 stars if I could.
