    The best coffee, we have had, in all of Lismore, too be honest, all the way down to Coff Harbour. Food always great and well priced. The staff are always happy and smiling. We would not go any where else.

    Without doubt THE BEST cake I’ve had in my life. Vegan passionfruit cheesecake - made in house by ‘indie’ apparently. Absolutely insane. Coffee is delicious too, and great vibe in this place. Highly recommend!

    This was the best tasting brekkie I have had in a long time! Job well done and presentation was great. High quality food and the staff was so friendly. The google maps doesn’t have the cafe at the right location but luckily it was right across the street. I highly suggest everyone try this little cafe out!

    Great friendly service and the breakfast was great-king burger and avo sourdough. We had coffee as well with juice-all so fresh and tasty! Only err was the girl coming out to bring my coffee had her fingers all over my cup instead of the saucer. Other than that would highly recommend this place when visiting Lismore. Thank you!
