This place is wonderful and quiet with loads of outdoor garden seating areas. I was impressed that most of the areas are covered and can be used during the rain. The service is fantastic and friendly. I had a mocha and the orange cake for only $10! The mocha was strong and went well with the cake which was moist and fresh and served with cream. Thank you to Sue for the great conversation and explaining to me what the place is about. I'm so happy to have learned about a great community initiative to enable more working opportunities for those with disabilities.

A quiet place for a coffee and a bite in a tucked-away place. Supports disadvantaged people becoming productive society members.
