Came to Singleton just to try this cafe- didn't disappoint. The bacon and egg roll was huge! Could have shared that one! Everything else was average portions. Loved the shop. Friendly service and great decor and atmosphere.

First time visiting this little place in Singleton. Requested to add ingredients that were available on the menu in a smoothie list and staff advised unable to do this request even though smoothies were made from scratch. Very disappointed as a first time customer doing everything to support a local business. Will not go back nor recommend. Service poor.

A cafe nestled into a giftware and flower shop, it has a nice selection of breakfast on the menu, coffee and fresh juice. Nice average prices, decent food and atmosphere, will be visiting again when in the area.

Pleasantly surprised to find a cafe with such unique decor, friendly service, and fabulous looking (and not to mention tasting) food. We had the Smoked Salmon & Dill Cream Cheese Bagel, which was packed with cold smoked salmon and perfectly balanced with the cream cheese. We also had the Avocado, Pea, Mint Smash with a Poached Egg, which was equally packed full of Avocado and Pea's, so much that I ran out of the thick cut fresh Sourdough to eat it with. Our Homemade Chai Latte and Soy Flat White were tasty and well presented.
