Nice cafe to relax outside. A bit pricey for the place: limited seating and being outside. Breakfast toasties and crepes available from $7.50. Ice cream $4.50. Coffees $4.30. Kids menu available as well.

Very nice crepes. My cheese-avocado-spinach-tomato crepe was excellent. They normally have decaf coffee but not today. Handy restrooms around the back.

Great experience and service. We had an accident, where my child spilt coffee on himself. The girls working were quick to respond and get cold water and care for my boy, as well as get him a new ice cream that he dropped. Thank you so much for the extra effort and compassion girls.

Great little park cafe with friendly staff and good food & coffee. I recommend grabbing one of their toastie & coffee combos ($10) and taking it down to the end of the wharf, for lunchtime with a view of the city/harbour.

A nice outdoor cafe beside a children's playground. Ideal for a young family where mum/dad want to get a coffee and let the kids play.
