The food is so flavourful and I loved how healthy it is! Not healthy meaning only the vegetable and meat but healthy as in they don't cook with inflammatory oils, instead they cook with butter, olive oil and I believe I think coconut oil as well. I got a gingerella and WOW tasted so addicting and it was balanced well with the hint of vanilla! I asked for a veggie stir fry with a salmon on top and the salmon was cooked just too well! Not too raw and not too overcooked it was easy to chew, soft and overall you could tell it was pure fresh right from the sea. You could tell the salmon lived a good life under the sea đŸ€Ł. I also got a cinnamon and apple cake and also a blueberry one and they are gluten free meaning they also dont use any of those bleached flours! The cakes WERE SO GOOD and rightfully filling! But right as I'm typing this I'm craving another one!!! My mum loved the apple and cinnamon one and its suprising because my mother usually doesn't like eating from outside! The workers were so kind, I came a bit late and they were closing but they were so generous to still serve me even when they were meant to be closing! You could tell they really care about feeding their customers wholesome gut-friendly food and care about when they are hungry aswell! The scenery was peaceful and quiet along with some tropical music but with no lyrics which I prefer that way! So much tropical plants and the store looked so alive that I felt right at home! Overall if your looking for a cafe that doesn't use any inflammatory oils, that really want to nurious their customers and they do not whatsoever use suger or bleached or chemical ingredients. They are the bestfriend to the gut health! I love eating here and my vacation is over so I will forever miss eating here!!!

A lovely little cozy cafe!! Lovely staff! Really cool latte art! We got a bunny and a Pegasus! The food was also amazing and they were very accommodating to gluten free options! Pretty much the whole menu can be made gluten free with some moderations. 😊 the lady who served us was very sweet and helped us move tables bc there were 6 of us and overall lovely service

We went to the Cafe twice this week. We found it was well worth it, as all of the cats were friendly, and despite the main focus being the cats, had good gluten free food. The first time we went we were served by Gaby who was wonderful, we unfortunately didn't get the second person's name.

I had an amazing experience at this cafe! The ladies were incredibly polite and attentive. I ordered a coffee & a gluten-free toastie and both were outstanding. The coffee was perfect and the toastie was not only delicious but also made with such care, given my gluten sensitivity. It did take a bit longer to prepare, but they were so considerate and explained the extra steps they took to ensure my sandwich was safe. To my surprise, they even refunded the cost of my sandwich due to the wait time, which I thought was incredibly thoughtful. Their attention to detail and customer care truly made my visit special. I left feeling delighted and grateful—this cafe really went above and beyond! Highly recommend.

Love this place. Delicious food and great service. Friendly and accommodating. They don't discriminate and welcome everyone. So glad we had lunch here. It's tucked away off the main drag. It's a hidden gem. When we walked in, a customer looked at us and said, "you'll get addicted. It's incredible". And they were right. Real French cuisine. It's undercover and air conditioned. So good in the heat of summer. Oh! and they do gluten free too. Forget the mainstream chain pancake places. Make this your go to.

Great sports bar that expands out to al fresco, into the hotel and towards their main restaurant. Lots of different seating areas for large or small gatherings. We had the cheeseburger and chicken burger and both were great. Large burgers with lots of flavour. Can cater for gluten free too!
