I stopped in late one afternoon after hiking all day and downed an amazing milkshake and I had some other tasty snack too. The service was great. I actually stopped in again the next morning before continuing my journey - originally just to get a hot chocolate but I ended up ordering a full breakfast which turned out to be an excellent choice. No doubt my body needed all the calories it could get but it was a good-sized serving, well-cooked and super tasty. I had another milkshake because the last one was so good. Yum. I would totally stop here again on my way through next time I'm heading north.

Superbly crafted cups of coffee based on international sourced top grade beans. Not only do they sell amazing coffee to go, but also packaged coffee to take home and keep enjoying. The food is also delicious, my partner let me have a sample of his BLT, the bread was divine, a type of wholesome Turkish flat bread, with lots of bacon, aioli and yummy fresh lettuce. If you are after something sweet, they have muffins, biscuits and slices to entice. The first time I tried Love shack coffee I was impressed by the flavour and aroma and this impression has stayed with me over the years. I know they are a super busy stand at the markets, and well respected in the community.

The Mochachino is my choice of poison, some may argue that's not a 'real' coffee, but they're wrong. Anyway Love Shack do a lovely Mocha. You don't just have to wait until Saturday for your Love Shack fix either, they have been open every day during the summer. A mid week visit is nearly the complete opposite of a Saturday. The markets are empty and it's dead quiet and peaceful. There are some lovely outdoor chairs to relax into, it's a good place to sit for a chat

The outside seating gives a sense of serenity but only if there aren't screaming children around. The mushrooms on toast were delicious. Nothing to fault, and they even mixed in caramelised onions, which just gave the dish a point of difference and lifted the flavours in the dish. The bread was a good thickness to soak up the cream and overall the seasoning was spot on. No complaints on the corn fritters. The hot chocolate was something different. You actually mix the choc into the hot milk yourself upon being served. My friend said it was fine but its Both dishes were a great portion size, which are great value for money. They were really busy and the wait for the meals were long but it was New Years Eve and they did mention this upon ordering.
