Great service and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Had a Chai and a Choc-Chip Cookie for morning tea. Both Chai options were superb (shared with my husband), and the explanation when choosing flavours was spot-on. The homemade Choc-Chip cookie was crunchy and delicious, and the texture is exactly how my grandmother taught me to make them! Highly Recommend.

Lovely little cafe in Wagga Wagga, made several stops here for lunch. Sandwiches are freshly made every time, and they get fresh bread each day so it’s always soft and delicious. Really enjoyed the smoked salmon sandwich, as well as the vegetation sandwich. Both are really simple, but so yum and very filling. The staff are so friendly and lovely too, and they have good coffee!
