Step inside, and you’ll be enveloped by a relaxed atmosphere echoing nostalgia, with a dash of 70s charm reflected in both its decor and prices.

As one delighted customer, Hyoung-Jin Cho, shared, the owners are exceptionally kind, offering a refuge for those in need, exemplifying hospitality at its best.

The menu boasts a delightful array of options, with burgers, kebabs, and chips being standout favorites. Each dish is prepared with care, as demonstrated by Lucy M's experience—she noted that you can truly taste the love in every bite. The fresh ingredients and thoughtful preparation ensure that even a simple meal feels sublime. According to Shannon Wheeler, the milkshakes evoke memories of classic flavors, reminiscent of simpler times when the focus was on quality and kindness.

Customer service here is remarkable, with staff dedicated to making your visit enjoyable. Matthew Martin praised the astonishing service while noting that the prices can be more wallet-friendly than major fast-food chains—making it an excellent choice for families and travelers. And with the friendly lady serving behind the counter, you might just feel like you’re being welcomed by an old friend.

The cafe’s charm extends beyond the food and service. With every visit, you’re welcomed into a community, a place where tales are shared over meals and lasting memories are made.

The owners here are extremely kind. I fled the fires from Bega in an exhausted state, and they were amazingly hospitable and asked me to rest here as long as I wanted. Nice, clean cafe with a relaxed atmosphere.

Stopping by here for lunch the person serving was very friendly. The customer service was amazing for what appears to be only one person. The chips are very fresh and overall the products can be cheaper than McDonald's in a way.

One of the best burgers with the lot that I have had in a very long time. Great homemade patty and my only issue was that the egg was cooked a little runny which made a bit of a mess in my beard. Will be stopping by here everytime I pass by.
