The air is sweet and cool and a very scenic place to enjoy the lunch. The menu offers your staple fish & chips, steak sandwiches and Caesar salad, but also offer a few unique options and lunch specials. I opted for the king prawn and pumpkin risotto and my wife the steak sandwich. It wasn't the best I've ever had but quite good and considering the options available, this is the best dining experience you'll find. A nice variety of desserts and coffees afterwards and they allow BYO as no alcohol for sale.

The best thing about this cafe is the surroundings - it feels a bit like you're in an Endorian village of Ewoks when you sit out on the verandah amid the rainforest trees. The coffee was tolerable but our croissants were truly excellent - some of the best we've had outside Paris. Which makes sense, considering one of the owners is French. I hope he's OK after his fit.

Wide range of choices with a touch more flare than we expected in a small beach town. Also, the outdoor seating is nice and quite a few tables available. They keep the place clean and in good order. My açai bowl was more like a yogurt bowl and my wife went for vegetarian option. She complained her bread wasn't fresh and was overly salty. Neither breakfast lived up to expectations. I didn't find the service to be overly good, however. Can't say the barista taking orders was too friendly and welcoming on either visit. I'd say this was the area this cafe needs to improve.

Walking through Port Macquarie earlier we were looking for somewhere for lunch. I fancied fish and…read morechips - big surprise there! Anyway, saw this place and saw that they had my Fav ice cream, since 2 days ago when I tried it for first time, Boysenberry! Plus they did fish and chips, so we ordered our lunch. I ordered the F&C and Hubby got the daily special, Chicken Mornay Pie. We paid and sat down to wait. Imagine my horror when I got on Yelp and found this place only had 2 reviews, both of them 1 star! I was gobsmacked, but it was too late, we'd already ordered and paid. 10 minutes later the food was delivered by a fairly friendly lady, and guess what? It was great! Hubby's pie had only breast meat, the pie crusts were light and flaky, and my fish and chips were perfect! We went back later for ice cream and the same lady was there and was nice again. Not sure if this place had changed hands since the previous reviews, but I definitely think it's worth 4 stars.

The spacious cafe features vintage arm chairs, large wooden share tables and seating spilling onto the footpath outside. It's an ideal place to grab a coffee, slice of banana bread, a newspaper and while away the afternoon. Or the morning - they serve up a variety of eggs for breaky, wraps and rolls for lunch and cakes and muffins for those with a sweet tooth. The fact that this place is always buzzing with the coming and going of locals is definitely a sign that they are soon something right. Oh and free Wi-Fi? Yes please. So come on down to hone your Street Fighter skills.

In the end I went for one of their shared plate dishes, the scallops with fennel, pea shoots and orange. And a great glass of pinot grigio from SA. 4 perfectly cooked scallops on a slate plate sitting on a fine salad of the fennel, pea shoots and orange segments. A delicate dish, possibly needing a little extra zing (a squeeze of lime juice?) but nonetheless, quite delicious with the wine. I had room for dessert and so had a slice of their gluten free orange cake which came with a wicked amount of thickened cream. Luckily I was with my little dog who helped me polish this treat off. Topped with a cup of Campos coffee, I was in food heaven.

I am typing this review while taking a break from finishing my pancake. Their pancake is yummy, especially drenched in maple syrup. The service is very friendly and quick. We are here on a weekday around 10am, no queue and food was brought out quickly. The decor is parrot themed, not sure if it has to do with the huge crowd of parrots hanging out by the huge tree across from the restaurant. Just a side note, those parrots can be quite loud by the later portion of the day. Parking is easy on the street and free for 1 hour.
