Well I love this cafe! It's very nice, it's unusual and the staff are great. I love down to earth folk who do a good job and at this little place that's the case I had coffee here a few times and it's consistently good. I had a breakfast recommended by Josh, who also prepared it and it was awesome, nicely done and we'll presented. Nice street front tables, easy to relax and enjoy. South Grafton is becoming a little bit trendy but it's roots are working class and creative with a touch of love. Go here, have what's recommended and enjoy.

Great place to stop. Worth a detour off the main road. Cute town, interesting shops. Coffee rated excellent by hubby. Tea fabulously presented. Just a tad overdrawn for my liking. Starting to get bitter as the tannin is released. Could also be the brand of tea and leaves too fine.

Delicious, strong coffee. Friendly team! Food was also really delicious and presented nicely. Had a relaxed, homey vibe. Only thing that could be better is the outdoor seating.
