My toddler loved the fenced playground out the back and the indoor play area was super cute. Also the sand pit out the front was another nice addition and had shovels and seating. The staff were lovely. Delicious food. Love that it's dog and horse friendly too.

Hands down the most underrated cafe in the area. Lovely and friendly service, great food, and relaxed outdoor vibes. I ordered the granola, a bowl of chips, loose leaf chai, and choc-a-nana smoothie - all were excellent. I'll definitely be back and so should you. - Charles W.

A life saver stop for cyclists as it is at the top of a long hill on the Lilydale rail trail. Great selection of drinks and food. Super muffins too!
