We ordered a side of chips with aioli (turns out my partners burger came with a side of chips and my lamb wrap with a simple salad). The chips were a massive serving and we couldn't finish those or the ones with the burger. But we tried our best! The smell of the lamb wrap was a bit odd but tasted fine. I think lamb has a distinct smell anyway....

Fairly good burger, great chips, lovely view of the bay. Close enough to walk to mount Tomaree.read more

Probably the best cafe you are going to try in the Nelson Bay area. So keeping that in mind this…read moreplace is busy - so either come at non-popular time, or be prepared to wait. Now, the coffee here is not great - but honestly the best cup in the area. But you don't really come here for the coffee, but rather the food. It is great! You have to love a place that has 8 different kinds of egg benny. You know a place is good, when you can't make up your mind of what to actual eat. Further, to make this place place even better all the workers here are really nice! Service is a bit slow, but that is only because it is extremely busy. But there are very nice and a smile goes a long way. So if you are in the Nelson Bay area, make sure you give this cafe a visit.

The owner made our generous wraps to order: Hummus, txaki, rocket, tomatoes, onions, carrots, eggplant, house made vegetarian burger, sun dried tomato, all for $10. The smoothies left us wondering what secret ingredient made it taste so good.

The food here is fantastic, everything is made to order and oh so fresh. The locals seem to be the only ones who know about the place. I had one of their wraps, had to wait a bit while it was made but it was well worth the wait. The burgers look great and so does all the breakfast stuff and best of all, it costs a lot less than the eateries around the corner. Breakfast here I come.

Firstly, this place is beautiful…read more It's only new but the fittings are stunning. The French antique styling of the statuettes holding the candles. The chandeliers. The table setting on the large wooden centre tables. This place would make great functions, although they're not yet doing dinners. In the centre of the cafe is a huge hole in the floor/ceiling with a view to the upstairs, stairs to the right leading upwards. The railings look elegant and from speaking to the owner I gathered there was a different plan initially which wasn't able to be done due to structural reasons. It's all a work in progress but for now, he's got himself a beautiful looking cafe. The curved padded booths were out choice of seating although there's outside too. Comfortable and relaxing with plenty of space to spread out your food. I had Eggs Benedict with my usual extras, a single pancake and a milkshake....and a coffee (I'm pregnant), and my brother had a milkshake and B+E roll. All was delicious. Service was pretty decent but they do need to be wary of when they take things away, I'm a hungry person!

This destination (I say that because you'll never drive past here in your travels) serves fantastic breakfast. The coffee is Italian and has a sweet bitterness to it.
