I drop in to the cafe daily for my morning coffee. Whether it’s Nicole, Alex or new girl Isabel, I’m greeted with a smile, it’s always great to see people happy at work! I don’t even need to order anymore, the girls just make my drink when they see me coming in. There seems to be some new positive changes on the menu since manager Ben took over for sure. I’m not really a breakfast person, but if I am ever tempted, I can recommend a good pie or breakfast Burger

Reviews weren't great but the small flat white with the extra shot I had was pretty good. Perfect temperature. Coffee beans aren't premium quality but it was very drinkable albeit a touch sour. No bitterness. Friendly people.

Honestly what is wrong with people. Ignore the negative reviews. This place deserves way more than what it is currently rated at. There’s heaps of places to sit at whilst you wait for your cruise. The staff were friendly. Didn’t wait long to be served or to get the order. It is clean and there’s great food & the barista coffee was surprisingly great. There’s clean toilets and a bus stop right out the front.
