Lovely coffee and cakes. Great place to sit and rest by the sea. We always take our coffee out to the veranda and sit and listen to the waves, watch the fishermen on the jetty and the horse drawn tram coming and going. A welcome rest stop after walking the island.

We recommend you go counter clock when you walk the Granite island track. The reason is at the other end you can relax at the Café for some cool drinks or ice cream or even a quick café style meal.

At the halfway mark of our regular 10klm walk around three times a week. My husband and I treat ourselves to a coffee and toastie at the cafe. On every occasion the coffee,toastie and wonderful service we receive has always been outstanding. Thank you to staff and in particular the young people who make our visit so enjoyable.

I visited today and was impressed by the kindness of the staff. When my child accidentally spilled her drink, they immediately made another one—without charging us! It was a lovely gesture that showed their commitment to customer care.

The only place so a monopoly for any visitors. Friendly helpful staff but not a wide selection. Maybe off season, maybe another reason. Lots is Stumpies and saw a pod of dolphins
