Such a charming, delightful little cafe, lovely atmosphere, excellent service, delicious food and coffee :) It really felt peaceful despite being busy. Music was soft and pleasant, I could definitely chat in comfort. Great work guys! Will definitely return and bring guests when passing through next.

I can't comment on the food, but the coffee was superb. This delightful looking cafe serves Bear Bones coffee, so you know you are in for a great cup. The cabinet inside had a nice selection of sweets and savoury options.

We stopped here for lunch during our road trip and were pleasantly surprised! The food was incredibly tasty—fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. I also tried the mango smoothie, which was absolutely delicious: super creamy with just the right amount of sweetness. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

Relaxing on a rainy Saturday morning. I followed the smell of fresh food baking and was pleased with the tasty breaky and coffee.

A nice place to pop in for a coffee when in Malanda. Friendly staff and very good coffee. The food on display looks nice but I can't comment on it.

Incredibly fresh quality food. Kitchen closes at 2pm, we ordered just in time; eggs bene and falafel salad plate with added halloumi. Plus fresh made fruit juices (up to 3 flavours). Everything was prepared to perfection & delicious, brilliant to have such fresh healthy dining options for a late lunch - avoiding pubs yet again in Tablelands on a weekday. Thanks team for fitting us in. Hope we eat here again. Sorry for late photo after we started eating, we were so hungry!
