Such lovely staff, very kind and the little boy that was helping was a delight. One of the best flat whites I've had!! Smooth and perfect temperature! The cookie was amazing as well as a little tea time snack. Given that the cafe was inside hunters Plaza it was great! Would definitely come back!

I absolutely love the hot chocolate they serve here. Today they were busy and this one lady who’s always working there, she recognised me and knew my order straight away. One of my favourite cafes to get hot chocolates from - super chocolatey and rich! Staff are friendly
