Stopped by for an early lunch today since we were in the centre. It was very busy and we were lucky to get a table. They have a smallish menu as well as daily specials but I had no trouble find ing multiple options. We settled on the chicken schnitzel burger and a bowl of chips. Chips were crisp an just out of the fryer served with a small dish of tomato sauce. They lightly salted, which I prefer, and tasted great. Probably the best chips I've had in a long while. Burgers were served on lightly toasted buns with lettuce, a slice of tomato and a good amount of mayo. Everything was fresh and hot. Obviously made fresh to order from scratch. Fantastic. Service was pleasantly efficient and friendly. There was a small confusion over the order that was rectified quickly. Staff also continually cleared tables. 10/10 will eat here again.

Very nice cafe with friendly staff and delicious food. We celebrated my brother's 70th birthday, and the staff even brought out a small cheesecake with a candle for a surprise after our meal.
