"Great breakfast and coffees. They are so popular we were advised there would be a 30 minute wait for the meal (we were there around 10:30am). Good to be told. The coffee came in about 10 minutes (great coffee), and the food came at about the 30 minute mark. Well done!! We'll be back!!"

"Food here is fantastic. Eggs Benedict was delicious. Crumbed mushrooms and arancini balls the best!! Great cocktails & kids milkshakes. Fantastic view of the ocean. It's extremely busy but service was great, only issue was that the entrees came out at the same time as our main meal but otherwise friendly and rather quick considering the amount of people there."

"Went for breakfast, the place was packed so glad we booked. Friendly staff, fast service, food and coffee were fabulous and quite reasonably priced. I had the mixed berry pancakes which had 2 decent sized pancakes with plenty of berries and decent serve of ice cream. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars for atmosphere is our outside table was right next to the door which was always opening and closing. We could have moved but didn’t want to move from the shade. Lovely view of the ocean. Shouldn’t be surprised that it was busy."

"The venue was well presented in a great beachside location. Got a table straight away despite being busy. A little pricey but service, wait time and food were excellent. Spent $70 all together for 2 meals and coffees. Lots of options on menu, staff are polite and we will be back again."

"Love this place. Great service especially a few of the regular staff - super friendly, knowledgeable and kind. The schnitzel was massive and cooked well. Not my fave schnitzel but the chippies were good and salad. Coffee is always good here too. 28$ for schnitzel parmi with chips and salad. Would recommend this place and still good just too much for me."

"Great spot for a brunch, when its busy it takes some time to get your order, thats to be expected. Very busy so be prepared to wait for a table especially on a weekend, its worth it. On a beautiful weekend its got a constant flow of classic cars cruising the beaches."
