It was easy to get a table even though there were already quite a few full tables of customers enjoying getting together and having a chat over breakfast. Our breakfast and coffee hit the spot, especially as I was able to downsize my serve to a just right portion that was also very well priced! Thanks

Very nice cafe for breakfast or lunch. Service was quick and friendly. Did not take long for the food to come out. Food liked very nice. My bacon was a little over cooked but that may be to other liking. I was very happy and will be going back. Highly recommended.

My wife and I dropped in for lunch on our way to the beach. We both had the Angus Beef Burger. It was so bloody good that if I could give it more stars I would.

Fantastic new cafe in Ocean Grove. Great space, really good food and coffee, and fabulous service. We sat outside in the sunshine watching the world go by.

I’ve had the pleasure of frequenting this little gem most Saturdays for breakfast since moving into Ocean Grove. Both the atmosphere and the food is top notch as is the friendly welcoming service. If you’re in the area or just passing by, it’s totally worth dropping in, whether it’ for a bite to eat with the family or just a warming hot coffee on the way to the beach for a walk. Support local!

Love this cafe. Always easy to get a table. Fast service. Great chai. But it's the Lamb + Pita that I always come back for. Succulent tasty slow cooked lamb, with all the flavours of the middle east. Unusual presentation, but the flavour is out of this world. Easy parking out the front. Great to escape the chaos that is the OG main street.
