"A regular haunt. Coffee always awesome. The sweet treats also amazing. Toasties are LARGE, have a great variety, & value for money. Highly recommend. Surrounded by greenery & cute little cafe, owner is personable & always cheerful"
Karen Butler
"A small spot for Toasties, baked goods and coffee. Really good service. Coffee was good, not the best in the area but definitely good.
Toasties priced at $16 each and whilst nice, I don't believe it was worth the price point. Wouldn't mind coming back to try some muffins"
Racheal Wellman
"I had a lunch at this cozy cafe.
The restaurants on the main street seemed more touristy places, but this cafe seemed to be loved by local people.
Sandwiches were very simple, but it tasted really good. I liked the rock salt on the surface.
I recommend this cafe if you have a lunch in Leura."
