Roastery Aromas and Hinterland Atmosphere

One of the best parts of stopping here is watching the coffee being roasted right next door. A large commercial roaster discharges freshly roasted beans into the rotating cooling tray while rich aromas fill the street outside.

Inside, the spacious dining area sits beneath exposed timber rafters, offering a relaxed atmosphere with wooden tables and colourful murals. It is genuinely dog-friendly, making it easy to settle in with a pup tucked comfortably into a chest carrier pouch.

Nostalgic Rhubarb Toast and Savoury Staples

We ordered a table full of sweet and savoury options, led by the nostalgic Rhubarb French Toast. Cut with poached rhubarb, fresh strawberry slices, crumble, and cream, it hits a satisfying balance of sweet fruit and rich textures.

For something savoury, The Smashed Green paired with a golden side hash brown was a highlight, especially with extra avocado, cherry tomatoes, and a fresh squeeze of lemon over the top. The Brekky Burger with added cheese was just as satisfying, featuring a sauce that deserves its own spotlight.

Specialty Sips and Sweet Treats

The drinks match the food for quality, from a smooth small oat latte finished with tulip latte art to a bright glass of tropical juice. If you want something richer, the iced Tiramisu Cloud brings a dessert-style finish, complete with thick whipped cream dusted in cocoa powder.
