Why on earth didn't I think of that myself? It was so good that we almost ordered a second but decided against it for fear we wouldn't have room for the mains. Steak was cooked to perfection and the mushroom sauce was to die for. I could have eaten that sauce alone and been totally content it was so flavoursome and delicious. The burger was actually really fresh tasting- if you want a greasy, American style burger this is not the place for you. This burger meat pattie tender and juicy and "spicy chipotle" did not disappoint- it was extremely hot! Finally, the tortellini was full of flavour and the portion a decent size (particularly if you are having entrees). Desserts were not too rich and obviously the ice cream was scrumptious. The only critique I have is that I assume they were understaffed tonight (either in the kitchen or waitstaff) as service was very slow, and I heard a lot of people complaining and waiters apologising. I'm sure this is not their usual routine and we may have caught them on a bad night. We waited quite a while for mains and then dessert and did not bother waiting for the bill (went up to the counter to retrieve it ourselves). We noticed many around us also waited quite a while for their meals. The food was so good though that this really didn't impact my opinion of the restaurant too much and I would definitely return!

While the general selection of food isn't huge, it is simple and it is decent quality, and there is a surprising range for gluten-free eaters. The Muffin Café is also listed on the Coeliac Australia site as extra reassurance. What really sets the place apart is that half of the café is dedicated to scrapbooking supplies - they stock an amazing range of different paper stocks in varying designs and weights. They also carry stamps, stencils, stickers, and all sorts of other stationery and scrapbooking items.

The muffin with custard centre was my childhood favorite. Family friendly, but not offensive to those who are doing adult-only or solo dining. Nicely tucked away from the main shopping precinct, this is a lovely place to recharge for lunch during a hectic work day or shopping outing. After sampling one in-house, you will be wanting to take one (or two) muffins home too.

There is a selection of your favourite commercial products for sale, including Brookfarm and Cobbs. But the main drawcard here is the abundant variety of hand made g.f delights including sweets, wraps, rolls, sandwiches, salads and take home meal packs such as Butter Chicken, Fritatta, Sweet Potato salads and various curries. Friendly personable and reliable service. The crew can custom make something if you order ahead. They serve DiBella coffee and it packs the right punch. Blink and you'll miss this little spot. If you can focus past all the signage clutter for local community services, you'll find a great range of eat in and take home products within.

Turns out it was empty because it was nearly closing time, but they still happily made me a delicious mocha (I couldn't decide if I wanted coffee or hot chocolate in the end) and even directed me to have a look around up the back of their shop while I was there. Turns out they have a craft workshop up the back, and sell all sorts of goodies from funky embroidery kits to recycled yarn to vintage style clothing patterns to origami paper to hand made colouring in books! They hold regular workshops in the space which is a concept that I absolutely love. I picked up a few gifts in time for Christmas while I was there. They use local organic milk, and locally-sourced in-season produce wherever possible. And the coffee is excellent! The cafe had a lovely feel to it, and friendly staff, and a range of inviting looking sweet treats on display - I think I'll have to go back and sample a few! I was really impressed by this place, and I'm so glad I stopped by!
