The service was good, the seats comfortable, all very relaxing as I sat inside looking out at a large new raised deck, alfresco area, raining today but nice on a fine day.

I usually get a coffee (which of course comes with a wee biscuit), a toasted ham and cheese croissant (sometimes two), and a sweet somethin - often a custard tart or a slice of apricot or blueberry pie. If I've got time to sit down, the pie comes with fresh cream. The staff aren't always the friendliest bunch, but it doesn't bother me much. They're quick and professional at what they do. The cafe is always clean, although it is a little dark but it's a warm darkness, like the inside of a hug. The car park is another massive positive for this place (car parking in Mt Barker is an ongoing battle) it's big and there's plenty of turning room. I'm always able to get a park. A bakery that's like a professional dark hug, with a big car park. What's not to like?

Here they have a busy popular Cafe, which cater for their customers and town shoppers. Rumours Espresso MtBarker is modern, spacious, with dark wooden tables and matching comfortable chairs. Around the walls are large wooden painted art, depicting a bygone era of, fast cars, passenger airliners & ships. From the display cabinet at the counter I chose a very nice generous size ham, cheese, tomato toasted sandwich, with a mug of Rio latte, all very satisfying. The service was excellent and friendly. As this is a new cafe, I found it very relaxing, not crowded out by customers, but this place I am sure will like their counterpart in Tanunda get busy. Good call.

She was instantly drawn to the Fairy Garden that's visible from the sidewalk and to the left of the cafe. Closer inspection drew disappointment when we found that the garden itself was shut "because it's too hot today". It was 38 degrees. Quite normal for this time of year in South Australia I thought? Anyway, we were able to peer through the gate and it was left to the vivid imagination of the 5 year old as to what lay beyond! We decided to stay and have a latte and sat in the courtyard. The service was very good and the prices were reasonable considering that we were in a hot tourist area. I'm sure that we'll go back there - perhaps in winter to see if it's open. And I'm sure that an excited 5 year old's mind can magically wander.

Hunched in the rain we scuttled from cafe to cafe in a downpour finding somewhere that offered a full day breakfast and outdoor seating for the dog... a tough ask. Luckily here offers all that and more with a whimsical garden out the back fitted with outdoor gas heaters and an all day breakfast menu amongst a range of lunch time foccacias and juices. Coffee didn't even need sweetners it was perfect, and ordering the jumbo breakfast to share meant we got to taste a wide range of goodies. The grilled mushrooms phenomenal, the atmosphere adorable and the prices reasonable. The apple strudel cake was the bomb digitty. The jewel to the crown was the cutest loo I've been in, sorry guys had to take pics for proof! Allover a cute and humble offering in the hills I'd come back for. Not sleek, not industrial chic, no hipster fittings...just a cottage your nan would feel welcome in and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I think that a lot of people drive past on their way to wineries, but they should really stop for a coffee. It is just the cutest cottage. A few different rooms and you will find the café part in the middle room. What I really love about this place is all the little hidden room dining areas. There are range of take away options for lunch or dinner for the family. Some super tasty looking stews, pasta and salads. Wow! All decently priced and a great healthy alternative then going out for takeaway. I look forward to return to eat some lunch. On this visit my guest and I tried the Lemon Polenta and the Pecan cake. Both were very moist, full of flavour, and not too sweet. Which is perfect by my books. The coffee is a strong and robust. Lovely blend and great barista. You couldn't have asked for anything better on a cold rainy day! I think I might become a regular as a resident of the Hills! I am looking forward to warming up near their open fireplace.

As is often the case, I'm glad I was wrong. Little did I know a quirky little cafe is the perfect replacement for a redundant service station! So far I've only had coffee, but based on the experience of our group the overall customer experience is great! Our coffees (and one iced chocolate) came out really promptly and were top notch (and very affordable somehow). We opted to sit out the back, a great choice for a bright, warm hills Autumn morning. It feels like being out the back of my Nanna's house (retro table and all) only no one is yelling at me through the back window about the football scores.. which is good I guess, for a cafe anyway.
