The Big Breakfast was big, the long black was delicious, the staff were friendly with a smile and a quip whilst still professional. I can't understand the poor reviews. Our meal arrived in good time - it was obviously freshly cooked. I asked for GF, and nothing was too much trouble. They swopped out my sausage for halloumi, and they hid a tasty tomato under the bacon. Best bit - the potato rosti/hash brown. Beautifully seasoned. There was a whole shelf of gluten-free sweet treats, 7 options! If only I'd had room after breakfast.

If your gluten free don't go here, made my 11 year old celiac son feel terrible about asking for gluten free

Coeliac aware and great gf options! Loved the chicken sushi bowl! A bit hard to get a table in there because it’s so busy, but worth it. I didn’t really love the Vietnamese loaded fries, but I’d say that’s just my preference.

Great coffee. Sat outside in the sun. We had a hashbrown stack with added halloumi, and a big brekkie with gluten free bread. Fuelled us for our hike later that day. It was delicious and highly recommend.

We called into the coffee bomb for some lunch, I bought a gluten free bacon and egg pie, was the most delicious gf pie I've ever tried, pastry was very nice and light, wouldn't mind that recipe or ordering a few of I could.
