5/5 stars! Food, ambiance and crew service are top notch! Enjoyed devouring this well presented smoked salmon English muffin stack, along with the Ube pancake which is must try! The soft shell crab and calamari burger is also tasty! Very generous servings 🩷 *chef’s kiss*

Great suprisingly large cafe/restaurant and bar. FOOD: Great selection of food with several vegan, vegetarian, gluten free options. Their food is fresh of a very high quality and organic. I only wished I'd found it earlier, as I would have eaten here everyday. STAFF: Lovely, efficient and knowledgeable. I pointed out an odd item on their menu and they were interested to learn and help. VIBE: Homely, yet modern large cottage like feel. ACCESSIBILITY: Great for those with larger wheelchairs, walkers, large groups. Perfect for 10-20 parents with prams etc (how often can one find a place like this!) They have a nice large changing room/bathroom too. Ample free street parking. OVERALL: Highly recommend. Wished I lived in Young to enjoy it more. I will be back!

We went here with family whilst visiting Young. We were greeted like family as soon as we walked in. The table was beautifully setup. The cafe is spacious with a modern country decor. Hanging plants from the ceiling. Food was super delicious and drinks too. We will definately be coming back. Highly recommend.

Great place and atmosphere!! We got the chicken burger and the beef brisket and both were outrageously good, gets a bit messy but very satisfying. There's a small kids corner and it keeps the little ones entertained, all up a great spot and totally recommended for road trips.
