Here are the opening hours and quiet/busy times.

Still, I'm a big online fan because otherwise I can spend half a day looking for somewhere to eat. And the online menu does say they love people with allergies. However there is no mention of gluten or gluten free on the menu. Maybe this is related to the tightening of Australian rules into "gluten friendly" rather than gluten free. Since their specialty is hot sandwiches, I'm up in the air on the gluten front. If they will allow choosing from the sides and extras menu, that would be perfect. I also like how many of their prices have stayed reasonable, with five dollar coffees, I don't know if I can eat them but their egg sandwiches for Brekky look positively dreamy.

Grab a cookie with the soft centre, apple turnover or a lemon curd and pistachio snail! Put it on your Katoomba visit list.

We were seeking coffee and breakfast before embarking on our (mini) rainforest expedition. I got an espresso with condensed milk (forgot its name...) and a ham and cheese croissant. The croissant is ok, I suppose you can't really go wrong with ham and cheese. The coffee was really strong, and the bitterness lingered even after I mix it with the condensed milk. It wasn't bad, just perhaps a tad strong for my tastes. This is a small shop with a charming atmosphere, and I am also letting the quality stuff slide a bit because it is pretty far outside a major city. It is a decent place to stop by because you are surrounded by tourist traps anyway.

They also sell the locally produced Teas & Tisanes teas, who used to have their own emporium in Wentworth Falls. Walls covered in teas to buy and a cafe if you can't wait. While shopping for tea is a little tricky with waitresses unable to get past you, the tea itself is worth it. The abovementioned is a mix of black tea, cactus blossoms, amaranth, mango pieces, pomegranate blossoms and ground chilli pods. A little light on the chilli for me, but a swoon-worthy fragrant cup nonetheless.

We started with coffees, that were very cute, coming with tiny bear cookies. I had the avocado toast with eggs and the husband had the waffle with chocolate and ice cream and the works. My avocado toast was quite tasty. The cheese on top was delicious! The waffle was not nearly as good. It had sprinkles on top that made it very crunchy. Anyway, if you're looking for breakfast, this isn't a bad place, but maybe not the best place in the area to stop.

It wasn't coffee I sought but waffles, and they did well. Their strategy is to offer small but inexpensive items and charge for toppings, which worked out fine for me. I ordered a presumably healthy whole grain waffle, a tasty cinnamon one, and split my maple syrup and kiwi fruit between them. These were thick, cake-y waffles, quite satisfying. They also offered potatoes with a range of savory toppings, and I rather wished I'd gotten one of those after sampling it. They offered some nice shake flavors and ice cream as well. As a non-coffee drinker, I can't vouch for that, but as far as food goes, between the customization, value for money, and premium location, I was very happy, enough to round up the 4+ stars for the rating.
