Amazing coffee, cakes are always delicious. Everything I've tried was good. Enjoy coming back here when I'm in Ettalong.

Food is amazing, we have been twice and couldn't fault it either it! Marek is so lovely and accommodating, staff are incredible. The biggest issue you will have is working which delicious crepe, cake or yummy treats to have!

Went there for breakfast on our vacation after reading the great reviews and I must say we weren’t disappointed. My husband raved about the Vienna coffee and my kids loved the Nutella crepes. I personally loved the French crepe. We also tried the banana and custard crepe and scone. We loved every bit of it and were extremely satisfied customers by the end of it. Will definitely come here again.

We wanted both a sweet and savory crepe dish, got recommended the French crepe and the Banana and Custard crepe by front of staff - amazing! Great balance, not too heavy on the palate. Looks huge as an individual portion but actually goes down very easily. Coffees were great too.

I had the Nutella crepe which was awesome. Marek who served my food was very accomodating and even brought a bowl of water out for my dog. Highly recommend

Now, I've never been lost for words when writing a review. This place is by far the most incredible eatery on the peninsula. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable. Very friendly and helpful staff. Food and coffee were both outstanding. The coffee was bold and full of flavour and made to perfection. Now the crepes, I have never, I repeat, never, had a crepe so beautifully made. The ratio of flavours was delectable and thoughtfully put together. The menu was extensive and had something for everyone (sweet to savoury). The atmosphere was calming and very relaxed. Indoor and outdoor seating with a lovely breeze throughout. I can not rate this place enough. Will definitely be returning.
