What an Amazing atmosphere. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. The sunny side of the road. The art is always so beautiful. The service has been be Awesome! Experienced so much kindness and consistency. The music playing in the background yet every now and then a favourite song plays to sing along with. Get place for getting caught up with a friend, a couple’s walk break date and doing a meeting.

The cafe was a lovely little spot to get out of the afternoon sun. I ordered the chicken pot pie in my partner ordered the veggie tart and both were excellent. Served with a simple salad a field greens with a light dressing it was the perfect lunch time meal on a hot Summer's day. The art was quite lovely and the service was excellent as well.

Thank you for the Latte, Cappuccino and Chocolate Biscotti. My wife and I were on our way home from Port Stanley Beach and got to this beautiful cafe just before closing today. A great place with great coffee and amazing local art.

This is a very cute cafe with great food and even better service. It was busy when we arrived and I can understand why. Will definitely come back here for a nice lunch next time I’m in the area!

Earl Grey & caramel cheesecake. English breakfast & a scone with the works. It was a beautiful stop on my first ever trip to Port Stanley. Thank you, ladies, for the gorgeous arrangement of our treats that tasted better than they looked! We may drive down once a month just to see you.

The food was delicious. We had the vegetarian panini with the soup of the day (potato leek). Both were in excellent. Our child got a yogurt parfait and scone, which were both delicious. The staff were very accommodating and helpful. There is fun decor from local artists.
