) "Great service from friendly staff, food excellent & pricing good."
"So we settled for a turkish roll from the allowed foods after 12pm cabinet."
"The red head guy makes the best coffee in town, the other baristas are alright."
4 We had a Melt each. My husband declared it the best melt he had had for a long time. The coffees were also good.
5 Stopped in for breakfast and was really impressed once again. The coffee was amazing and the scrambled eggs on sourdough were such a generous portion I couldn’t finish them and really delicious! Well worth visiting.
5 This is a great cafe to have a snack with friends. The atmosphere is great with large ceilings and wide spaces for people to sit in. With comfy chairs and a view of the river, this is probably one of the best locations yet. I had a Depot burger which came with a large serving (probably for 2 people) and chips for a reasonable price. In my opinion I had only wished the chips were thick cut.. otherwise a great cafe! Would highly recommend
4 Perfect place to catch up with friends and family for coffee and tea. The lady served me with a wrong drink but kind enough to replace it. The avo toast is scrumptious.
5 Great food, Beck is the best cook and excellent customer seevice
5 A great little, sorry big cafe, is quite large inside but not to noisy. The food was fantastic and the staff really nice!! Def worth dropping in for a white hot chocolate or feta , smashed avo, dukkah on sourdough
