Never been in store but buy on uber. They never disappointed and have a great selection of gluten free options which actually taste good. They are respectful about other allergies and always have been able to take out any onion for me.

The staff were very friendly and the service was quick. I visited at the weekend and during the week and this remained the case on both visits. The coffee was great and there was a selection of gluten free cabinet food as well as on the menu. What a great location in The Victoria Esplanade.

I like this cafe because it’s usually quieter than most and they offer a range of interesting food. The staff are polite, friendly, and create a pleasant atmosphere to meet up with a friend or enjoy a quiet break by yourself. The coffee is priced very reasonably, and they offer keto and gluten free options for coffee and food. Would love to see the return of the keto caramel slice. I recommend this place.

This place is my local cafe. I really look forward to my morning coffee each week day. The staff a friendly and remember my specific coffee order each day. I’m celiac so the food isn’t really an option for me. There is some gluten free food, but I wouldn’t consider it safe to eat for a celiac. It looks very nice and I’m sure is great for anyone that can enjoy it.

Selection of cabinet food, including a few different gluten and dairy free options. Small local business trying to get going in this wonderful spot. Was quiet and peaceful when we visited. Art display changed regularly. I understand they're hoping to open their kitchen for menu meals in time.
