Simple food done well is always a winner for us. We had the basic breakfast with a couple of additions and coffee. Eggs properly cooked (not overcooked) and real scrambled eggs, not a fake mix. Coffee good enough for someone from Melbourne. Staff are friendly and willing to go the extra mile.

Update: Back again today. Had to have another egg and bacon roll. Same as last time. So good I had another (I was spoiling myself) took a picture. Love the comfortable new chairs. Original review What a great little place. Had a good cappuccino but then noticed someone else get a bacon and egg roll so I ordered one. When ordering I was asked if I wanted soft center egg and what type of sauce. When it arrived with a nicely wrapped knife and fork it was on a large plate and the roll had been lightly toasted to crisp up the outside. It also had cheese on it. Simply delicious. Thank you

This is more than a place to eat, those that are frequent visitors know the heart, and the love put into your coffee, your food and your being, each time you visit .. I have been visiting for over five years and any poor review is simply a reflection of the reviewer’s heart and not a flaw in these amazing women or the service and food they serve for the community ..

Mum and I are sitting at this cafe as I write. This is a hidden jem of Lismore. The portion sized were admirable and the flavours will be drawing us back for another lunch meal soon. I had a mushroom spaghetti dish that was to die for.
