5 Hidden Gem in the mountains. You would not expect such a lovely spot in middle of nowhere, very artistic feel in the raining days. 6 star experience. Latte heart likes Van Gogh’s art.
5 Beautiful, cosy cafe. Something you would expect to see in the city but nestled in the beautiful country side! Super crispy, heavenly, healthy food options and fantastic coffee. A wonderful retreat from the cold rain and had a lovely time chatting with owners. Hope the business thrives! It deserves too!
5 What a hidden gem we came accross, totally unexpected. The food delectable, the coffee brewed and made to perfection, the cakes especially the Persian love cake a total delight and ignited our tastebuds/palate. Tristan and Co. provided such an incredible experience a total must when you come to Buchan Valley.
5 There are two things you need to do in Buchan, visit this lovely café and see the caves. Then if you have time you can check some other things out too. The staff are super friendly and helpful, the place is very well renovated and decorated, full of local art and cute gifts. The food is both pretty and tasty, and tea comes in good sized pots. Don't miss this!
5 A perfect little coffee shop welcoming you back to civilization after camping along the Snowy River. We have been here a few times now when passing through and the owner is always friendly and welcoming. I got a chai, I think it was a syrup or powdered one but it was hot and very wanted after chilly nights camping. We got rolls/focaccia and they were tasty
5 Absolutely beautiful. The boys are amazing & the food is exceptional. Not only visually stunning but delicious. I had grilled chicken salad & my girlfriend had the cauliflower salad.
5 Really enjoyed our breakfast here. The food was good and the service exemplary. Coffee was also on point. Thanks and well done Tristan and Patrick.
5 Tasty smooth coffee served by staff with good humour. Good servings at reasonable prices though would be perfect if the butter for the toast was slightly softened. Would love cream on top of iced coffee
