I absolutely love this place, one of the few truly "Mullum" places left in town. Food is awesome & well priced & the staff are absolutely lovely. I just read a poor review suggesting there is a lady who is rude to anyone younger than 65 & it motivated me to write this. I am under 65 & have been going here for years I've never once experienced rudeness. In fact I've been impressed by the ladies there who are always warm friendly & remember how I like things. I have often seen rude, entitled & demanding people try & push in etc which they would not support or tolerate & that is part of what I love.

Great drinks, plenty to choose from. If you walk through there is a nice quiet garden area out the back.

What a lovely courtiyard this cafe has! stopped here for breakfast and I didn't idea of the lovely courtiyard there is in this cafe, Iloved it! The staff is friendly specially the gorgeous lady with brown hair that took our order and served us. The food is simple but it was really good, I asked for GF bread and to add a few things and no problem at all. Now I know where to go for some breakfast in Mullum. Thank you guys!!

Coffee was perfect but omelette was a bit salty for us. Add one more star for a young staff member with bangs who was absolutely helpful
