Great coffee, great food, and friendly service. A really cute little cafe tucked away in Mernda which I have visited on multiple occasions. I've tried a variety of different items from the menu and they have always been delicious and well presented. Love the french toast and the pancakes on the breakfast menu! Service is fast and prices are reasonable. Definitely recommend this sweet little spot!
