Second time while here on this, today we stopped in after the market. It was busy, the vibe was chill and the staff were really nice. The new owners have def brought a new vibe. We look forward to coming back.

This place is under new management as of the last month or so and the family that is running it is just delightful. The menu is limited but the food is delicious, and they went out of their way each time we visited to accommodate us as (very non-picky) vegetarians. The ice cream is out of this world. Stop by and support them! :)

Recommended to us by a few locals. Friendly service and great food! Simple but delicious. Apparently under new management; previous owner had some health issues which led to the poor service mentioned in older reviews.

Great little store and coffee shop. The young woman running it made us really good lattes, the sausage rolls were delicious and there’s a really good selection of supplies.
