Dog friendly cafe with an outdoor play area for dogs, lovely staff. The food unfortunately was rather disappointing (Maybe I ordered the wrong dish?). I ordered a Vietnamese Noodle Soup (Pho) and it was potentially one of the worst Pho I've tried. The soup was not hot enough so it was like eating raw beef with noodle. The broth tasted like it was made with too much MFG. I left with an almost empty stomach after paying $19 for the Pho. Was not really happy about the food but giving 4 stars as everything else was nice

I love taking either my dog or my kids here (or better yet, all at once), but even without them I'd still give this place 5 stars just on account of the food & service.

Haven't been here for a while but we recently went down with our 2 dogs to grab some lunch and coffees for ourselves whilst the dogs ran around. The korean fried chicken flat bread was so good. We always love doggy friendly cafes we kind of wish they had just some cute plain doggy friendly noms like grilled chicken breast but overall we still rate this a 5/5 because

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Food absolutely delicious and freshly made. Reasonable prices. They also allow you to bring your fur babies.

Quite a bad experience with the cafe staff. They need to learn how to be polite. Customers come there for experience, a certain impolite behaviour can just ruin it. Pathetic.

Dogs in dining area. Dogs fighting in dining area. Dogs in children's play area. REALLY PEOPLE? Neither safe nor hygienic.

Very nice to get some sun with your little ones, family and petw. Friendly staff and comfortable ambience.

We stopped by for lunch and had the Pho, Beef Stew and Spring roll. The food was as authentic as it can be and by South East Asian food standards really very good.

Breakfast good as usual but service poor. Young girl couldn't light our heater as her nails were too long (her words!)
High chairs were filthy dirty and baby changing very bad too.

We came here snd discovered this place last min as everywhere was closing. Great coffee and delicious breakfast! Def worth the drive of coming here

Went mid week for lunch. Was really quiet. Came to the front and the waitress who was sitting down at a table, got up and pointed at the menus at the counter and said “there are the menus” and when asked for a high chair she pointed over to where they were and said “they are over there. ” More than happy to serve ourselves but when a place is that quiet, doesn’t hurt to offer some assistance. Great idea in theory having the playground and the area for dogs but didn’t really enjoy sitting down to eat hearing the dogs barking non stop and then looking over to see one doing a s**t. But I guess that’s just our personal preference, might suit some people. Food was OK, nothing special.

Not much food to choose from, at least for me (gluten free, vegan). Muffins were a bit disappointing. However, nice beverages.

Nice place for kids and dogs need to update play area and change the menu not always the same gets boring

Staffy play day was awesome.

It's a great space for people to have a coffee and enjoy hanging out with thier fur friends.

Highly recommend.

I wanted to love this place so so much.
First time here and took our dog to an event play date. I went into the Cafe to order a takeaway smoothie and when asked for proof of vax I was confused as I've never been asked for takeaway. Was told it doesn't hurt to show it anyway with attitude and so I showed it. Later told it's cause I wasn't leaving immediately.
That attitude left me with a sour taste to quite a delicious smoothie, and we left immediately.

Never driving north 35 mins for this type of service.

Lovely venue. Great to see a place that caters well for children and pets. Unfortunately the food was a bit disappointing. It took longer to stand in line to order, than it did for the food to be served. The food was a bit bland and over priced in comparison to other cafes in the area. There didn't appear to be any table water available, which on a hot day was disappointing. The staff were very friendly.

We used to come here quite regularly because of the great space for kids to roam.
Came the other day and the French toast was cold and they used tinned fruit on the meal, wasn’t great.
I also spilled my coffee while trying to move something out of the way for the girl dropping the food off and she didn’t even ask if I wanted another coffee (not a big deal but $3 when I just spend $70 wouldn’t have hurt them). Not a big deal, just a side note.

The food is good and the ambience is lovely!
The staff is friendly and you can tell they love the dogs!
