Amazing brunch spot! The rose latte was pretty and delicious. We both had the poached eggs with sweet potato, cashew Hollandaise, pesto, salad, with bacon/sausage added, and it did not disappoint. Will definitely come back!
We had a great little table overlooking the garden. Little cool but we had blankets. Smooth entrance to the back. Lattes and other hot drinks came with floral arrangements.
Stopped in for a coffee after a hike and ended up having lunch. The food was delicious and service outstanding. I had a lovely table overlooking the garden. Really enjoyed my time here.
Lovey staff, delicious food and delightful drinks. Came here for a post-hike brunch; arrived ravenous and left absolutely stuffed! Took a blondie bar to go, but their other baked goods and take home food, such as soup, looked equally tempting and wholesome. Our receipt got us 9 off entry to the next door gardens.
Great food and service. Rather expensive I thought. Kind of cafe surroundings, but restaurant food and service. We go for lunch every week somewhere, and this was the dearest. But, the nicest food! I guess, at the end of day, paying a chef is dearer than paying a panini press operator.
Such a beautiful restaurant! From the atmosphere to the staff. The food to the drinks.. Everything From when you walk in the door has been given so much love and attention. Great staff and great management!
Mandatory stop any time we are in the area. They have interesting lattes and other hot drinks, the food is solid and the portions are generous. The main draw is the atmosphere. The location is beautiful, with the garden out back, which is clearly utilized by the restaurant as you get salads with interesting ingredients, and flowers as garnishes. I also really enjoy the service. This isn’t really the place for a quick get in get out meal, but if you’re keen to eat some fantastic food, and be around a group of people who you can truly tell care about each other, you’ll leave satisfied and brimming.
My favourite place to go when I visit Victoria! I have been eating here for many years. And each brunch or lunch or dessert is a feast for both my senses and belly. Nutritious, beautifully prepared and presented drinks and meals with exceptional flavours. Great service that is always sensitive and accommodating to my dairy and gluten allergies. A huge hug of gratitude for the incredible people who make this place a beautiful experience in every way!
