Yeah, in a way this place was actually pretty good, and they made a pretty decent pot of tea as well. It's definitely a place worth checking out.

The staff are proudly declared locals but I don't feel that this adds any value onto the experience. There was no little local words of wisdom shared amongst the crowds, not even a smile from staff. The menu here is typical cafe. Serving up some delicious Gridlock beans. Our coffees turned up in reasonable time. The highlight here is the piglet pen. A dedicated cage to throw your child in whilst you enjoy a soy decafe latte. I'll be keen to see if this place can break the 12month curse that's seen the last 6 venues fail.

Beautifully appointed with tables embossed with their name this cafe clearly has intentions to stay put. I had a latte and custard tart. The coffee was below par which is disappointing. I have a rule of them to give a business months to iron out their issues so will reassess when they are more settled. They accept tap and pay including Apple Pay and have a unisex toilet for customers which I think is handy when you're out with kids. The cafe lacks something I can't put my finger on it. Maybe background music?

The menu is limited but often changes, today I had the burrito and I'll be coming back again for another serve. The decor is funky and hip and all things cool, the seating is a mixture of long tables where you share with others or small traditional cafe tables and chairs. I enjoy watching and smelling the cooking that goes on, it's like being in a kitchen at times. My only draw back and the reason for not giving this place 5 stars, is the coffee. I tried it once and could barely finish it. So I now avoid it and go for a chai latte instead.

We waited for 1hr and it still hadn't appeared, after asking the waitress to find out where it was she said that the docket hadn't been sent to the kitchen.. waited another 15 minutes for it. To be fair it tasted ok but at $17 I feel that it was overpriced. I won't be going back
