Stopped in for coffee and cake. Coffee fantastic, I had to have a second. Custard square definitely lived up to its 'world famous' reputation, and as for the GF chocolate brownie, it deserves to be upgraded from 'almost world famous' to World Famous!!! It was probably the best chocolate brownie I've ever had, let alone gluten free More

This is the best breakfast I have ever been served. I am a huge eater and this almost beat me. It stopped my wife in her tracks. We didn't even have room to have one of their famous custard squares.

We had time to spare waiting for a flight, so popped over the road from the airport - on a recommendation from a fellow traveller. I'm gluten free so had the chocolate brownie - home made and soft and yummy! Maybe the best I've tasted. Very clean, modern cafe - definitely worth a visit. More

Stopped for a coffee and muffin,best muffin on the Island. Because the breakfast menu looked so good we went back the next day for breakfast. You have to go just to have their hashbrown,home made and delicious. Very good food and friendly staff. Dont let the busy road put you off,just enjoy. More

The sign out front states that they have the "Best Custard Squares on the Island" We are partial to the odd custard square and these were right up there in terms of quality, good portion size, little pricey but that was OK. More
