A very pleasant little place, emphasis on little, with an alternative atmosphere in Belgrave's main street. Loved the relaxed retro decor. Loved the record player playing REAL discs.The menu is a quite limited but the food is excellent. The food is all very home made fresh, well priced and service is prompt and friendly.
The canneloni vegetarian and salad was really, really flavourful and the mixed salad, with pepitas added was crisp and tasty.
The orange flourless cake was a sensation. I have had this item other places and it can sometimes be a little dry but this one was moist and just oozing orangeness.I would have liked a little cream on the side but great anyway.

They do breakfast and brunch dishes here ( eggs, quiches ) and a great selection of coffees, teas, lindt hot chocolate and smoothies. My coffee was served a little cool but the efficient staff were only too happy to fix that promptly. They were taking a batch of home made cakes out of the oven when we were there and they smelled wonderful but we were too full. Next time !!
It is hard to compete with some of the fantastic local coffee served in the hills but theirs was pretty good. Give them a go!

You have to pay and order at the counter and they do not take cards which is a shame.
