Came here when they were supposed to close but graciously accommodated us on a late Sunday afternoon. Mum and her little daughter were working in the kitchen. The cute little daughter was happily helping her mum on that Sunday afternoon. Vanilla chai latte’ was probably one of the best ever I’ve had. Businesses in little townships like Wild Wombat should be celebrated. This will not be my first and last time there

Great cafe for a sit down meal. Big fan of the French toast with Banana. The large coffees come in a big glass, but my latte was very well made. Service a little slow, but they were busy and the staff were very kind to the old couple seated near me.

I have my morning elixir here everyday in my favourite booby cup I bought there! Ange knows everyone’s name and order, I’ve had dinner there too and it is a quiet calm lovely place to catch up with friends, and my dogs are welcome too!

Edit because the second visit was much better.The service here was great, the waitress was very friendly and the coffee was good as well. The first time round the food left a lot to be desired (mostly portion), the second time food was excellent. I guess I came by on a bad day the first time.

The vegan breakfast was fresh, delicious and plentiful. Also loved the generous helping of nuttelex it came with! Kind, warm service with a smile. Definitely worth making your regular.

Stopped by this place as we rode through town in our motorcycle's. Group of two, very welcoming. We sat out the front ordered a cappuccino and a piccolo. We both took a sip, looked up and said, that the best coffee I've ever had.
