Great food at this cafe in Gympie, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. The tomato relish with the scrambled eggs was the best I’ve ever had, they should think about selling jars of it in my opinion.

Very yummy, good value and a decent amount of hollandaise. Only thing that could be improved is the tea as its just a bag and wasn't in the pot but still 9 1/2 out of 10.

We all loved our food and coffee from here. They've created a great atmosphere too with lovely decor and unique utensils and store is also set in a historic part of Gympie with lovely old buildings. Staff were friendly and the service prompt. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Staff were really friendly, the food was awesome & the cafe had some really cool historical things to look at on the walls.I ordered the Big Brekkie & didn't want the chorizo that came with it, so they gave me extra bacon. I couldn't finish it, they give you a very decent serve of food.

Great coffee, lovely food, nice staff. The presentation of my eggs benedict was amazing. Perfect return to civilisation after camping in the bash for a few days.
