What a hidden gem. Wasn’t sure what to expect but was a pleasant surprise. Busy with locals who are on to a good thing. In a small local shopping strip, basically a nice cafe set in a plant nursery setting with both indoor and outdoor seating. Good, well priced food and friendly service with a happening vibe. Would go again when next on the Peninsula.

A strange looking place with all the shop items, but the coffee was really nice.

We came here for breakfast this morning and overall it was good. Smallish space, so not too much room, however, lovely food, tasty coffee and good service. We got the big breakfast and whilst the food was good, we just felt for $20 it wasn't that big. Still a good amount of food, and worth coming down.

A great cosy little cafe in Rosebud that I have frequented many times over the past few years when visiting my Mum. Lisa, the owner, is very sweet and friendly. I have noticed it is a friendly meeting place for the locals. I absolutely love their turmeric latte - it’s the best 2024 update I recently visited this cafe that has since changed ownership and expanded a little. Still very pleasant with unpretentious cafe style food and sandwiches but now licensed. Very pleasant low key atmosphere. My coffee was good and zucchini slice not bad.

Nice little cafe/nursery small amount of food we had the Aussie brekkie burger and the egg and bacon roll both were nice. I had a piccolo which was ok they use All Press coffee here. With a good selection of take home options we got some chicken salad rolls for take away which were nice for lunch. Nice outside area too.

Lovely little out of the way cafe and nursery with a cute outdoor area among the plants at the back. Meal portions are fairly small but thrillingly retro and delicious. The coffee is excellent. The nursery is lovely with some very nice and competitively priced plants. Service was lovely and friendly throughout our visit. This place is a little gem.
