Nice little spot for breakfast, coffee is good, as are the cappuccinos. Very good selection for kids. Most friendly and welcoming staff we've met to date, super friendly and very helpful which is a big plus.
Would never have found this cafe if I handnt done a search for coffee shops in Newbridge. We'll definitely be going back, recommend highly..

Love the friendly atmosphere and fresh food here. I'd recommend it to anyone! My favourites would be the pancakes with maple syrup and bacon, the fresh baked scones and the French toast! Plus they've just added a book exchange :)
