Firstly, this place is beautiful…read more It's only new but the fittings are stunning. The French antique styling of the statuettes holding the candles. The chandeliers. The table setting on the large wooden centre tables. This place would make great functions, although they're not yet doing dinners. In the centre of the cafe is a huge hole in the floor/ceiling with a view to the upstairs, stairs to the right leading upwards. The railings look elegant and from speaking to the owner I gathered there was a different plan initially which wasn't able to be done due to structural reasons. It's all a work in progress but for now, he's got himself a beautiful looking cafe. The curved padded booths were out choice of seating although there's outside too. Comfortable and relaxing with plenty of space to spread out your food. I had Eggs Benedict with my usual extras, a single pancake and a milkshake....and a coffee (I'm pregnant), and my brother had a milkshake and B+E roll. All was delicious. Service was pretty decent but they do need to be wary of when they take things away, I'm a hungry person!

Now, the coffee here is not great - but honestly the best cup in the area. But you don't really come here for the coffee, but rather the food. It is great! You have to love a place that has 8 different kinds of egg benny. You know a place is good, when you can't make up your mind of what to actual eat. Further, to make this place place even better all the workers here are really nice! Service is a bit slow, but that is only because it is extremely busy. But there are very nice and a smile goes a long way. So if you are in the Nelson Bay area, make sure you give this cafe a visit.

We spent just over 50 for 2 adults and 1 eating child, which I thought for the food we got felt little pricy given the decor when we walked in, but then again we are at touristy spot and anywhere else would have costed more. And I loved the family vibe there which was wonderful. Portion was alright, the bruschetta was little small (and unfortunately taken the wrong order) but everything tasted great. Sounded funny but our favourite at least for our kid was the buttery toast which really was fluffy and great. Staffs were friendly, and you know this is really the friendly neighbourhood joint when everyone packs their own cups back to the counters. Weighing everything I thought it was a solid 4-5 stars. If you're in the area definitely worth checking this beautiful little cafe out.

The cakes and things look lovely but my review is purely on the coffee not the food. Coffee was average and lacked the aroma or depth I was expecting. Staff were nice enough and friendly and service was fairly quick. I would probably go for coffee elsewhere in town based on my experience. Would love to try their food and baked goods and perhaps assess my review again.

This destination (I say that because you'll never drive past here in your travels) serves fantastic breakfast. The coffee is Italian and has a sweet bitterness to it.

Spend a day coming here in the winter to see the whales, grab a coffee and breakfast, and enjoy all that Fingal Bay has to offer.
