For a shopping centre deep fry and bai marie coffee shop and restaurant this place is very pleasant and the cooking is great! Coffees are great!! Oh they make their own sweets. Try the rocky road and chicken skewers! The chicken skewers are the best I've ever tasted! The daily grind has a wide menu from sausage kransky to salad rolls and everything in between, including a full range of sandwiches and rolls and desserts and cakes. They also make the best orange juice I've ever tasted as they have the quality juicing machine and it really makes a difference in the taste of the juice. I highly recommend the place and I have worked in a good 20 restaurants and bars and function centres over the years!

I recommend this place. Today I stopped by for some lunch at this cafe. They have amazing menu, heaps of items. Veggie pastie is fresh, hot and served in a decent way with tomato sauce. Loved the falafel sandwich, it had fresh veggies, healthy option, stomach’s friendly appetiser. Eating falafel sandwich for first time and it is so good, delicious and delightful. Prices are very reasonable. Lady who made my food was so humble and patient. Explained me each and every item I enquired. I was fussy and she beared my words. Worth it for the food and people work here deserve it. I enjoyed my lunch. Lively environment and awesome atmosphere.

Update: I have now tried everything on their lunch menu, and I can say that each and every option is fantastic. The portion sizes and flavour are excellent value for money, and it’s a great choice for a weekend lunch before going grocery shopping. I’ve been here a couple of times with my partner and we have both really enjoyed the food and drinks here. They have a wide range of vegetarian options for my partner, and their food is delicious. If you go here I recommend the milkshakes, and their portion sizes are fantastic for a breakfast or lunch time outing
