When I first was recommended this cafe for lunch I was scared away by the prices on the menu, there is no food under $10 however after a few days of crap food at the other tuckshop I gave it a go and have never looked back! The scientific feel of the restaurant is quirky but it works, the iced coffee was great, the trifle is my favorite! Yogurt, honey, apple and berry compote, almonds and coconut to top it off with fresh strawberries on the side. You have to try it!

Approximate cost: $15

I went in expecting more, my mistake. The Nutella milkshake was nice, but the straw was a paper straw so it started disintegrating which was gross. None of the menu was what I was after, burgers seemed to be the only thing and looking around they didn't look great. So I just ordered the chips, the were the thinnest chips I've ever had, they lacked flavour and it was overpriced. I won't be returning

The food was beautiful but expensive for what it was worth, the fried broccoli and creme caramel is a must order, these were the star attractions, the barramundi was also good, the fried cheese was excellent but they encourage sharing and there was only 1 small triangle which could barely be cut into quarters. They also did not cut each of the starters into equal amounts, for example there were 4 adults and each starter comes one dish at a time, we had a chipotle sausage cut into 7 pieces.. That's not encouraging sharing! The menu was also very confusing, it was set out like individual dishes however they are meant for sharing however it didn't say how many people each dish was big enough for.. The menu would be more beneficial if there was a banquet to choose from if you wanted to share or individual meals to cater for those who aren't interested in sharing. It was also extremely loud, you were often shouting to get people to hear what you were saying. Overall it wasn't a horrible experience, the restaurant itself is filled with ambience, the service wasn't great but we were told they were short due to someone quitting. It's a great restaurant for couples or after work drinks as they had a great wine menu but no beer. For a table of 4 with wine, 3 starters, 4 mains, 2 sides and 4 desserts it costed $350

The food was excellent I shared the platter, the service was average as it took quite a while for the food to come however it was worth the wait. The kids meals were a bit expensive $12.50 for meal, soft drink or milkshake and a bowl of ice cream and they don't have spaghetti bolegnaise on the menu :( I had the pistachio mousse for dessert which was amazing!

I only recently stumbled across this classy cafe, it will be great in the warmer months to sit outside. The food was nice although the BLT didn't come with a side and the coffee and cakes are delicious!

I've worked in pizza shops so consequently I'm really fussy about where I go to eat pizza! Crust pizza is restaurant quality, the toppings are fresh, it's quick and it's also convenient to park out the front.

This is our not so local fish & chip shop we buy from most weeks. The food is fresh, the people are friendly and the shop is extremely organized! I was even impressed on Good Friday, I may have had to wait a bit longer but they were ridiculously busy but I couldn't fault their system!

This is my mother in laws all time favorite cafe. She loves the service, the food and coffee but most of all she loves the friendliness of the staff and other customers.

The playground was amazing and kept my 4 year old busy for hours, the play equipment was also clean!
