I simply love this place! They're real coffee connoisseurs and make the best coffee in town. They have a huge selection of really tasty samosas and pastries. But most importantly the people working there are just lovely! Always keen for a little chat, very knowledgeable and passionate about their job. Go check them out if you are in Freemans Bay.

The owners are super-friendly and welcoming and the place has a nice community feel to it. Great coffee and the Full English Breakfast is one of the best anywhere. Convenient location in the small Freemans Bay shopping village. Served by the 106 Freemans Bay Loop bus.
