Perched on the esplanade with stunning waterfront views and a beautiful, spacious setting, this spot offers a relaxed, lively atmosphere. While the menu has gluten-free options clearly marked, concerns about cross-contamination and menu accuracy suggest caution for gluten-sensitive guests.

Amazing service from Megan. Very bubbly, friendly helpful. We put a big order in for 10 people and she was patient and even offered options for my celiac nephew. Definitely come back again

Do not eat at the cafe if you have any dietary requirements. After politely pointing out that as a coeliac no one can eat the gf banana bread because it’s been unwrapped and is in the counter with gluten items (cross contamination risk), I got a “well everyone else eats it and we’ve had no complaints”. Well here is my complaint. I’ve pointed this out to other cafes before who are trying to do the right thing by catering for allergies and they’ve been grateful for the guidance as many just don’t know coeliac should be treated the same as a nut allergy. It’s one thing to not be able to eat at an establishment because of my autoimmune disease, I’m used to that, it’s another to be treated with such rudeness and contempt because I’m not willing to take the risk of making myself seriously sick.
