We visited this local gem by chance on our travels in the area (we are from Melbourne visiting friends in HB). The service was exceptional with the staff engaging with us and magazine all of our dietary needs, 6 young kids creating havoc with their wants and 6 adults. The service was exceptional and the food was incredible so we came back again today before heading home. Highly recommend.

Amazing food, cool and cute honey themed stuff to buy as well. It's what your looking for when you visit a country town. Great coffee to get you moving once your full to explore the region and grab a souvenir to remember where your day began with a smile and a full belly.

What a friendly cafe! The service was excellent with two smiling ladies behind the counter. The food was delicious - BLT on Toasted Turkish and the House burger. Prices are very good for the portions you get. This place has a very friendly vibe and you can feel that every customer is important to these two ladies. We only come to Maryborough once or twice a year. This is our second time here and this is where we will come back to. Easy parking as well. Thank you!
