If you are a local and you haven't paid a visit you are the one missing out. The Staff were Happy, Friendly and ready to assist. The cafe was spotless, a credit to the operators, to add to the pleasure they have inside and outside dining with table service. Another plus is the location, right outside Woolworths, how handy for a cup of coffee or a bite to eat before or after doing your shopping. It is a must do.
