Popped by to buy my afternoon takeaway coffee. I was served promptly and pleasantly. There weren't many people there at the time so the wait time to get my order wasn't long. The coffee was good. I would pop in again if passing through Albury.

Service was excellent, great friendly staff. Great atmosphere, knew it was a great place because of the amount of people there, some had obviously organised to meet friends there. Only comment about the food would be The Foccacia my partner had seemed a little expensive for what it was.

Fantastic Cafe for coffee or a bite to eat. No matter if they are busy or slow, you will ALWAYS get a good coffee. Which is a rare trait to find around here. Food has always been delicious. Sandwiches Sweet Treats Breaky Pancakes Haven't had a bad experience yet in our many visits these past 4 months. Would easily recommend to anyone. Great for friends, couples, families, and fur friends.

Situated in the home makes Centre in Albury is this good food cafe. You can rarely get a sandwich made up for you on a Sunday and this place does and it was pretty darn good. It was very quick to be made and the customer service person was very helpful. There are seats inside and out and we found it very easy to park. Recommend for good solid cafe food.

6/5 for excellent service and going out of the way to clean the grill before making pancakes and eggs for us. I was worried that grill used for cooking pork may contaminate the pancakes. Thanks .
