Stumbled upon a Bunbury gem! This laneway cafe's coffee is top-notch - smooth, rich, and expertly crafted. It's a game-changer for the South West region. Melbourne-standard coffee in a charming, unexpected spot. Highly recommend!

I love coming here for coffee and breakfast lunch is also great with GF options available. My MIL is GF and Lactose Intolerant and she said the coffee was really good and the GF bread was lovely with her breakfast smashed avo and the gnocci in pictures attached This is by far my favourite smashed avo. Better than what I've had in Perth!

Great place for brunch with kids with a small playground area (more of a small play kitchen and small toys). Crepes are fabulous. Steak sandwich can be more tender. Eggs Benedict with croissant is amazing too!

What a gem! Snuggled in the arcade wafting delicious tempting smells out into the arcade. Well executed, stylishly presented, delicious food with a French twist. Spoilt for choice,was hard to decide. Had our first Dubai Hot Chocolate! Oh la la, you simply must try one. Our first, but I dare say not our last. Do try this devine little cafe, you will not be disappointed by the food or the service.

I really love this place so much, great quality food and relaxed atmosphere. First time I came here I had the lemon sugar crepes (just thinking about them makes me drool) This time we ordered mushroom raggu on sourdough with a poached egg on top. Was so delicious! It was a treasure hunt to find it under the greens
