The coffee and big breakfast were just like we’d make at home – hearty, fresh, and very tasty. The scrambled eggs were the standout, easily the best we’ve had in Gawler or the surrounding areas. Service was lovely and friendly, and there’s a nice variety of both breakfast and lunch options to choose from. A great spot we’d happily return to!

I love the historic charm of this cafe. Friendly staff and good service. Nice coffee and great muffins. You can relax and imagine the past here. Gorgeous posters and wall hangings add to the historic feel of the place.

A unique experience and local. Enjoyed all food (gyros and toasties), drinks (ice coffee and coffees) and delish blueberry cheesecake. Very friendly and welcoming service.

The absolute loveliest staff, a great selection of food and the coffee is outstanding. Love the little quotes on cups, really makes my day atmosphere is great, you can actually hear conversations and the automatic doors are great when your hands are full
