    This cafe is something else. It’s so lovely sitting amongst the plants and flowers sipping a wine and enjoying really tasty food. Will continue to return here!

    Awesome food. Lovely. Just a bit pricey with the Melb cup Public holiday surcharge added. We were surprised it applied as van loons isn’t in the Melbourne metropolitan area and Geelong doesn’t get the PH. Will go back for the food though. Overall very good

    Food was good but sandwiches weren’t of good quality and not true high tea size (they were cut into 4 and not good quality bread or filling) Scones were so huge that we took them home, biggest is not the best Otherwise we enjoyed it all
