  • Hearty, Reliable Daytime Fare

    Mornings revolve around satisfying classics and inventive daily specials, from house-made baked beans and sausage ragu to savoury grilled cheese Welsh Rarebit paired with consistently pulled specialty coffee.

    The sausage added a satisfying texture and a hearty, savoury flavour that tied the dish together.

  • Celebratory Afternoon High Tea

    A dedicated high tea celebration features generous tiered towers of delicate ribbon sandwiches, house-baked scones, and traditional afternoon pastries that feel special without any pretension.

    The atmosphere was warm, gracious, and comfortable. Not stuffy at all. Exceeded my expectations.

  • Eclectic Vintage Tableware and Charm

    Every table setting is styled with an eclectic, nostalgic array of antique cutlery, ornate teaspoons, patterned vintage china, and charming knitted tea cosies.

    Everything from the cutlery, plates to the tea cosys were adorable and inviting.

  • Quiet Upstairs Conversation Space

    The upstairs mezzanine offers an airy, light-filled escape with soaring ceilings that keep ambient acoustics gentle enough for effortless group discussions and private catch-ups.

    The noise level was great due to the high ceilings so we could actually sit and chat easily.

  • Cheesecake with caramel topping

    My friend had the cheesecake with caramel topping and I had the orange almond cake, which, I must say, was the best I've ever had. Bought another piece of cheesecake to take home.

Before you head over

Practical advice on seating access, high tea selections, and daily specials

  • Upstairs Access & Prams

    The upstairs mezzanine has high ceilings and a quieter atmosphere for conversation, but access involves a narrow staircase; if bringing a pram, downstairs seating is readily accommodated.

  • High Tea Options

    For celebrations and afternoon tea, selecting the premium package adds a savoury cheese board alongside classic finger sandwiches and pastries, with wine pairings available.

  • Specials & Menu Timing

    In addition to regular breakfast staples like house-baked beans, the kitchen runs rotating specials boards and seasonal offerings that frequently sell out early.
