Customer Review Summary

Breakfast draws the most praise at this Alpina Way cafe, with reviewers repeatedly singling out the creamy mushrooms, sausage and tomatoes on the full breakfast plate, alongside a caramel latte finished with real cream. Close behind, several mention the club sandwiches on thick cut bloomer with coleslaw and tortilla chips, a bacon and sausage sandwich paired with a flat white, and the vegan brownie and millionaires shortbread praised for dessert. The atmosphere comes up often too, described as welcoming and cozy, with staff repeatedly called polite and friendly. One reviewer had a different takeaway sandwich experience, receiving salad in a side box with a fork rather than in the sandwich, calling it "slightly strange" though still edible. A more serious complaint came from one visit where sandwiches took a long wait, arrived not as the large size ordered, and included sausage described as burnt and "near inedible," leaving that reviewer saying they wouldn't return. Most others, though, describe clearing their plates completely and planning repeat visits.

  • matthew harrison
    “Very nice spot. I bought a sandwich to take away which was decent. I was asked if I'd like salad and expected that in the sandwich but it was inside to box to eat with a fork. Slightly strange in my opinion but not a bad sandwich.”
