I always feel that they are slightly on the pricier side ( about$15 for my caramelised onion and feta tart). But the taste do make up for it. Service is always friendly and the place is always packed with locals. There's a back room with a chalkboard wall, perfect for kids. The front of the cafe is also a store with some beautiful candles, serving ware and some jewelleries. A big T2 selection ( to have in store and buy by the pack) makes this cafe appealing to tea lovers as well. Grab yourself a coffee card!

Then again that probably shouldn't surprise since it does seem to be one of those places that have a more inner-city feel that what you would expect from a cafe in the country. Actually, the coffee isn't all that bad, though it can take a while, especially when it is packed.

Loved the decor, it felt very much like entering a long lost friend's home in the countryside, and although stylish, was also very laid back and welcoming. I stopped by with a large group of friends for coffee, so it took a while for them to get through all the orders, but they managed the busy period well. A small latte was on the expensive side, but it was pretty decent.

Today I was served by two young women who provided the nicest customer service I have ever received. I didn't fully catch their names but I'm sure one was Kez.

This was much, much quieter than the other cafe that I visited while wandering through Ararat…read more Sure, there were a few people here, but the service was prompt, friendly, and I landed up with my coffee pretty promptly. Furthermore, there were plenty of chairs available for me to sit down with my coffee and have a bit of a read. The atmosphere in the cafe was quite lovely, and they even had some good breakfast options (which silly me didn't partake of). This is definitely a pretty decent cafe, and certainly one to check out.
