Dec 22, 2025"SUPERB! Fantastic jumbo grilled chicken toastie - arguably the biggest one we have been served. This is one to share and so yummy. What can top this... wait... OMG the vanilla slice here is devine - light and fluffy. Just keep driving past Olinda and stop at the bottom of the mountain. You will be glad you did."

We ordered our breakfast and coffee and within 2 minutes the coffees arrived at our table. We noticed a lot of regulars coming in and the staff all knew them and their orders. The food was really good, just the right amount. Can’t wait to come back again."
