I popped my head in to ask if I could order a coffee from outside as I had my dog with me - I thought this was the polite thing to do as I didn't know whether they would appreciate my large puppy indoors. "I'm in the middle of something" - so I waited outside, a few minutes later she popped her head out the doorway: "what do you want? ", and so I asked for a coffee - "well, what size do you want? ", "how are you going to pay? Do you even have money on you? " so I asked if I could pay with my card, I said it was a tap and go - "there is no way I am going to use that" she said, and so I told her not to worry about it. Her tone was extremely rude, she didn't want to bother with me. All the while my dog was sitting next to me quietly. I wanted a local spot I could come with him so he could get used to being in a cafe setting, but it's clear this isn't the one. Recommending all my family and customers to go elsewhere for coffee.

On a sunny Sunday drive and we stopped here for a light lunch today.
I had a fresh long platted roll filled with chicken and egg and it was awesome.
My daughter had a meat and mushroom
Pie and wife a tasty fresh baked vegetable pastie. Great service by the ladies and a comfortable outdoor area to eat our lunch in the sun.

Have stopped off for a coffee & Pastie for several years on rout for holidays ect.
The last stop out & in was disappointing.
The coffee was just ok.
The oasties vwry ordenary.

Really good quality food and pies were beautiful. Coffee was excellent. Only thing I would say negative is it is a little on the pricey side.

The best bakery I’ve ever been in Australia.the coffee was fantastic and chicken pie is the best.
If I come to the town again I will have breakfast there for sure.

Since I came here in Australia, seriously I haven't tried such an amazing Pies as these, with a fantastic coffee. Deserves a million stars.

Extremely rude service every time, pies and sausage rolls always undercooked. If it wasn’t so convenient I don’t think many people would come here.

Lovely coffee. Lovely focaccia. Lovely outdoor are to sit. Lovely staff. Conclusion: a lovely experience. We’d very happily return anytime.

Good coffee and vanilla slices The tables a d chairs are a bit tired and could do with some tlc

I bought a gingerbread women yesterday as a treat, it was not ginger bread but some flavourless dough, it was very stale and inedible had to throw it in compost bin.very disappointed.

Friendly staff. Delicious egg and bacon sandwiches. Hot coffee and yummy French vanilla slices. Croissants are a daily must for breakfast.

Smells amazing when you walk in, and they've got excellent pies, cakes, bread, sandwiches, sweets! The coffee was great, and quick to come out!

Will never go back and support this bakery ever again. Admittedly I went to purchase bread at the end of the day, however upon purchasing 6 dinner rolls at full price and realizing that they were as hard as rocks once I’d stepped outside of the bakery, I went to return them.
I was met with the following comments and advice from the older lady who served me:
- what do you expect, it’s the end of the day?
- all of our bread at the end of the day is going to be stale because of humidity
- if you want your bread fresh you need to come in the morning
- you left the store so we don’t offer a refund

Thankfully I was provided a refund because the lady could see that that was going to be the only way to resolve the issue, however this is a horrible way to treat a customer.
I will be supporting the other bakery from now on and will also be encouraging others to do the same.

What a terrible work environment. The owner has NO management skills or knowledge on how to support her staff. DO NOT LET YOUR CHILD WORK HERE EVER!

On a road trip with son we called in for a quick bite.
Sausage rolls were the best weve ever had & vanilla slice was awesome!
Ample carparking at rear
